You feel as if you're not living a full life. Which, of course, is why - it's my theory about why so many people who are heavily into computers are also into extreme sports and S&M. It's because their bodies are crying out for some kind of action.

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

I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.
Brian Eno
Image
I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.

A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
Brian Eno

I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.

I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.

I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.
