Brian Eno
When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.
Brian Eno
At the party, Rob Partridge said to me, You gave hope to other balding men. My new epitaph: Co-wrote a couple of decent songs and went bald shamelessly.
Brian Eno
When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno
American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno
Of all the things you can now do, which do you choose to do?
Brian Eno
It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
Brian Eno
