Brian Eno
Something I’ve realized lately, to my shock, is that I am an optimist, in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification, and that we really can build the future that we want if we’re smart about it.
Brian Eno
Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
Brian Eno
Robert Fripp and I will be recording another LP very soon. It should be even more monotonous than the first one!
