Brian Eno
I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
Brian Eno
Of all the things you can now do, which do you choose to do?

Whenever there's a new music, there's a new way of listening. And whenever there's a new way of listening, there are new musics that follow from that.

Brian Eno
The point about working is not to produce great stuff all the time, but to remain ready for when you can.
