I want to make things that put me in the position of innocence, that recreate the feeling of innocence in you.
Brian Eno
Image
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
Image
The point about working is not to produce great stuff all the time, but to remain ready for when you can.
Brian Eno
Image
Editing is now the easiest thing on earth to do, and all the things that evolved out of word processing - 'Oh, let's put that sentence there, let's get rid of this' - have become commonplace in films and music too.
Brian Eno
Image
One of the things you're doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.
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've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.

I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside.
Brian Eno

One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes you move to places you wouldn't if you knew better.
Brian Eno
Image
Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.
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
It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
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?

In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it
Brian Eno
Image
I always have wanted to know how the whole thing was done, what the process involved. And I don't particularly enjoy that my music is stripped of ancillary details, and it just sort of comes out of this big tap called the Internet like water. I like some of my water to be neatly presented in a bottle. With a label on it.

In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.
Brian Eno
Image
At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art.
Brian Eno
Image
I think, if you spend a day or - as many people do - a life working only with that aspect of your being, the cerebrum connected to a finger, I feel that the rest of you atrophies, essentially.
Brian Eno
Image
It infuriates me that stuff from the Internet routinely doesn't include all the credits. Because as soon as I listen to something, if I like it, I want to know, Who's the bass player? Who did that? Who's the engineer on this?
Brian Eno

The philosophical idea that there are no more distances, that we are all just one world, that we are all brothers, is such a drag! I like differences.
