More quotes by Brian Eno
Well, I am a dilettante. It's only in England that dilettantism is considered a bad thing. In other countries it's called interdisciplinary research.
Brian Eno
You either believe that people respond to authority, or that they respond to kindness and inclusion. I'm obviously in the latter camp. I think that people respond better to reward than punishment.
Brian Eno
Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.

You just make different music on a computer. And you can make wonderful music on a computer, but don't pretend that the machinery is transparent. It makes as much difference to what you're doing as it does if you play an acoustic guitar as opposed to a kettledrum. You're not going to make the same music.
Brian Eno

A lot of the so-called systems composers have this thing that the system is always right. You don't fiddle with it at all. Well, I don't think that. I think the system is as right as you judge it to be. If for some reason you don't like a bit of it you must trust your intuition on that. I don't take a doctrinaire approach to systems.
Brian Eno
As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.
Brian Eno
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.
Brian Eno
Genius is individual, scenius is communal.
Brian Eno
In my normal life I'm a very unadventurous person.
Brian Eno
Some people are very good at being 'stars' and it suits them. I'm grudging about it and I find it annoying.
Brian Eno
My guitar only has five strings 'cause the top one broke and I decided not to put it back on: when I play chords I only play bar chords, and the top one always used to cut me there.
Brian Eno
Of all the things you can now do, which do you choose to do?
Brian Eno
The whole history of pop music had rested on the first person singular, with occasional intrusions of the second person singular.
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
If I had a stock of fabulous sounds I would just always use them. I wouldn't bother to find new ones.
Brian Eno
I take sounds and change them into words.
Brian Eno
Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.
Brian Eno
Nothing so dates an era as its conception of the future.
Brian Eno
