"One of my mottoes is that if you want to get unusual results, work fast and work cheap, because there's more of a chance that you'll get somewhere that nobody else did. Nearly always, the effect of spending a lot of money is to make things more normal." -- Brian Eno
"Don't be ashamed of your own ideas. Most musicians get applauded for sounding like someone else. People try something out that they think is exciting, and everyone looks a little unsure. Then they play an old James Brown riff and everyone's saying: 'Wow! That's what we want!'" -- Brian Eno
"The point about working is not to produce great stuff all the time, but to remain ready for when you can. There's no point in saying, I don't have an idea today, so I'll just smoke some drugs. You should stay alert for the moment when a number of things are just ready to collide with one another. A lot of factors go toward creating a work: technological considerations that suddenly are a little exciting to you, some feeling or mood, a nice day, you just had a talk with a friend. All sorts of things will coincide -- and that moment doesn't last for long. It's like things in orbit; they'll move away again." -- Brian Eno
