Editing is now the easiest thing on earth to do, and all the things that evolved out of word processing - 'Oh, let's put that sentence there, let's get rid of this' - have become commonplace in films and music too.
Brian Eno
One night, I pissed into an empty wine bottle so I could continue watching Monty Python, and suddenly thought 'I've never tasted my own piss,' so I drank a little. It looked just like Orvieto Classico and tasted of nearly nothing

I know that if I had a television in my flat I would convince myself that everything on it was really interesting. I would say, 'I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!' is so sociologically fascinating that I think I'd better watch.
Brian Eno
The micro-compositions are the pieces themselves, but the macro-composition is the whole set of them and how it moves from track to track and how the titles relate to one another, for example.

Brian Eno
The artists of the past who impressed me were the ones who really focused their work.
Brian Eno
Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.
Brian Eno
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.
Brian Eno
Every collaboration helps you grow. With Bowie, it's different every time. I know how to create settings, unusual aural environments. That inspires him. He's very quick.
Brian Eno
I'm kind of an evangelical atheist.
Brian Eno
One of the things you're doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.
Brian Eno
I think the idea that people walk around to music is very interesting. They are actually creating the soundtrack to their lives as they walk around to it.
Brian Eno
I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it, but they're happy if they do get it.
Brian Eno
Of all the things you can now do, which do you choose to do?
Brian Eno
I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.
Brian Eno
Admirers can be a tremendous force for conservatism.
