More quotes by Brian Eno
Songs that don't depend on composition depend instead on performance - so the fire has to be there in the playing.
Brian Eno
I have a definite talent for convincing people to try something new. I am a good salesman. When I'm on form, I can sell anything.
Brian Eno
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
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
People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
Brian Eno
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
Brian Eno
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
American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno
The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.
Brian Eno
You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre.
Brian Eno
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.
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
Not many people bought Velvet Underground LPs, but those who did, started a band.
