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
Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature... The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.
Brian Eno
Image
You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre.
Brian Eno
Image
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.

American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno
Image
I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence , heightened sexual attractiveness, and a better sense of humor.

I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
Brian Eno

Image
I don't want to do free jazz! Because free jazz - which is the musical equivalent of free marketeering - isn't actually free at all. It's just constrained by what your muscles can do.
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
Any constraint is part of the skeleton that you build the composition on - including your own incompetence.
Brian Eno
Image
I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards I thought that was great for years.
Brian Eno
Image
Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.
Brian Eno
Image
In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it
Brian Eno
Image
Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.
Brian Eno
Image
Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they're transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.
Brian Eno
Image
Culture is everything you don't have to do.

I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.
