“I'm actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about re…” — Brian Eno

Set up a situation that presents you with something slightly beyond your reach.

For the world to be interesting, you have to be manipulating it all the time.

I do like Burial; he's so curiously clumsy, you can't help but be moved. It's so un-Hollywood, and the rhythms are so un-danceable.

It's insane that, since the Beatles and Dylan, it's assumed that all musicians should do everything themselves. It's that ridiculous, teenage idea that when Mick Jagger sings, he's telling you something about his own life. It's so arrogant to think that people would want to know about it anyway!
