Painting, I think it's like jazz.
Brian Eno
Image
I want to make things that put me in the position of innocence, that recreate the feeling of innocence in you.
Brian Eno
Image
I think one of my pursuits over the years is trying to answer the question of 'what else can you do with a voice other than stand in front of a microphone and sing?'
Brian Eno
Image
I think that there's something that I still like about the fact of a package, like the latest report from somebody. Okay, this is what they're up to now this is what they're doing who's working with them?
Brian Eno
Image
I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
Brian Eno
Image
When I've finally got the title, I think, Okay, yes, now I know where we are. Now I know what it is. Fine, that must be finished or nearly finished.

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.

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

My interest in making music has been to create something that does not exist that I would like to listen to. I wanted to hear music that had not yet happened, by putting together things that suggested a new thing which did not yet exist.
Brian Eno
Image
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
Image
I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.
Brian Eno
Image
I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.
Brian Eno
Image
I love the sort of ambivalence of this, the ambiguity of something - being, for instance, in a quite busy Mexican restaurant with one of these very gentle tracks playing I remember as being particularly nice.
Brian Eno
Image
I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.
Brian Eno
Image
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.
Brian Eno
Image
Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.
Brian Eno
Image
I felt extremely uncomfortable as the focal point, in the spotlight. I really like the behind the scenes role, because all my freedom is there.
Brian Eno
Image
With all fashion, what we do is play at being somebody else. We play at inhabiting another kind of world.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm kind of an evangelical atheist.
Brian Eno
Image
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
