- Brian Eno
About this Quote
In this quote, Brian Eno is discussing why he does not go on trip with a band. He states that the primary factor is since he does not understand how to be the frontman of a band. Eno is known for his work as a manufacturer and artist, but he does not feel great in his abilities to lead a band on stage. He admits that he is not proficient adequate to play any instrument well, which would make it difficult for him to handle the pressure and responsibilities of being the frontman. Eno's honesty and self-awareness display his humility and commitment to his craft.
"One has children in the expectation of dying before them. In fact, you want to make damn sure you die before them, just as you plant a tree or build a house knowing, hoping that it will outlive you. That's how the human species has done as well as it has"
