Brian Eno
It must be quite mysterious to some people why I bother to carry on. Because, you know, I don't sell that many records.
Brian Eno
The problem with improvisation is, of course, that everyone just slips into their comfort zone and does sort of the easy thing to do, the most obvious thing to do with your instrument.
Brian Eno
It's amazing how quickly people get used to bad quality.
Brian Eno
I occasionally meet people and they say, 'Oh, I was born to Discreet Music'... They always have very weird eyes, those people.
Brian Eno
I'm not interested in possible complexities. I regard song structure as a graph paper.
Brian Eno
American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno
I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.
