Sometimes you recognize that there is a category of human experience that has not been identified but everyone knows about it. That is when I find a term to describe it.

Brian Eno

I do sometimes look back at things I’ve written in the past, and think, ‘I just don’t remember being the person who wrote that.’
BRIAN ENO

Looks Past Thinking
I think that there’s something that I still like about the fact of a package, like the latest report from somebody. “Okay, this is what they’re up to now; this is what they’re doing; who’s working with them?
BRIAN ENO

Facts Okay Thinking
I always use the same guitar; I got this guitar years and years ago for nine pounds. It’s still got the same strings on it.

BRIAN ENO

BRIAN ENO

Agree Enough Terrible
I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of ‘star’ and I didn’t particularly want to be portrayed as one.

BRIAN ENO

Band Enough Play
I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.
BRIAN ENO

Hate Talking
If you think of the way a composer or say a pop arranger works – he has an idea and he writes it down, so there’s one transmission loss. Then he gives the score to a group of musicians who interpret that, so there’s another transmission loss.
BRIAN ENO

Down Loss Thinking Transmission Writing
In my normal life I’m a very unadventurous person.
BRIAN ENO

Life Normal Persons
All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
BRIAN ENO

Best Minutes Written
I felt extremely uncomfortable as the focal point, in the spotlight. I really like the behind the scenes role, because all my freedom is there.
BRIAN ENO

Behind Roles Scenes Spotlight
When you look back on a historical period of music, it seems so obvious to you what the characteristics of it are, but they’re not obvious at the time. So, when I look back at my own work.
