More quotes by Brian Eno

Brian Eno
Also something that you don't have to listen to from beginning to end - you can enter at any point and leave at any point.
Brian Eno
In my normal life I'm a very unadventurous person.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.
Brian Eno
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
I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.
Brian Eno
The problem with improvisation is, of course, that everyone just slips into their comfort zone and does sort of the easy thing to do, the most obvious thing to do with your instrument.
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
John Cage made you realise that there wasn't a thing called noise, it was just music you hadn't appreciated.
Brian Eno
One often makes music to supplement one's world.
Brian Eno
Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.
