[Brian Eno] I think one of the things that art offers you is the chance to surrender, the chance to not be in control any longer In our culture, most of the [?] is to take control But we like to surrender, and that's the reason we enjoy sex, drugs, art, and religion They're really all ways of losing "me", they're ways of losing yourself One of the things I want music to do is to offer people the chance to surrender Everything good proceeds from enthusiasm The-the big mistake is to wait for inspiration It won't, it won't come looking for you It's not so much "creating something", I think It's noticing when something is starting to happen I like the thrill of being somewhere where I know nobody else has been The feeling of standing, looking at something that nobody else has ever seen before Some people are more ready to make use of the opportunities that come up than others Recording was a way of painting with sound Similarly, distortion is character, basically Perfection, to me, is character-less
