Brian Eno
People do dismiss ambient music, don't they? They call it 'easy listening,' as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.

Brian Eno
The point about melody and beat and lyric is that they exist to engage you in a very particular way. They want to occupy your attention.
Brian Eno
Most of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don't fit in a very interesting way.
Brian Eno
When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.
Brian Eno
Some people say Bowie is all surface style and second-hand ideas, but that sounds like a definition of pop to me.
Brian Eno
As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
Brian Eno
I don't want to do free jazz! Because free jazz - which is the musical equivalent of free marketeering - isn't actually free at all. It's just constrained by what your muscles can do.
Brian Eno
People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
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.
