I fear that our true motivation is about oil and our own flailing economy about the failure to destroy Al Qaeda and about revenge.

For me, in songwriting, I have a route I can take. Maybe there's some forks, I can go this way, this way. But I know those roads. I still have the experience behind me.

Yorke's lyrics make me want to give up. I could never in my wildest dreams find something as beautiful as they find for a single song - let alone album after album.

Always walk where you like your steps.

I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.

Because life is short but sweet for certain We're climbing two by two To be sure these days continue These things we cannot change

I like to think I'm a night person, because that's my job, but now I'm a father of three. I'm trying to become more of a morning person. I don't know if it will last. I have two choices, right? Either I'm bitter about getting up early, or I start drinking wine earlier and get to bed.

Some might tell you there's no hope in hand Just because they feel hopeless But you don't have to be a thing like that You be a ship in a bottle set sail

We give the podium to a lot of people who shouldn't have the podium. The message that's delivered the loudest and in the most entertaining way is the one that we're going to put on because that's what we want. We want ratings more than we want to deliver information. That's just where the culture's gotten.

We've never played at this place before. This place is big, and I'm kinda nervous, so we're going to make it feel small by pretending we're in a... bedroom. We'll hang off the edge of the bed, take off our shoes and get naked!

There's a freedom to being young that is harder to come by as time goes on.

I don't understand at best, I cannot speak for all the rest. But you may find a lifetime's passed you by. Every dog has its day, every day has its way Of being forgotten.

Troubles, they may come and go, but good times, they're the gold.

The moon is quite a show off given the chance. The stars make a sound when they shine so bright. Water so blue and so black.

Every day things change, but basically they stay the same.

I feel that I have worked my whole life to get to the point where I should have a good understanding of women.

Move into kiss those sweet sugar lips, baby looks just like love.

Sometimes it's nice to be able to reflect on the music itself and then write lyrics that I feel anyone can relate to. It's not my dreaming tree that is dead. The feeling of a loss of hope is universal. There are moments that we've all felt a little bit of it, so I don't think it is something that is too hard to identify with.

Because one of the properties of music is to entertain and to, I don't mean this lightly, distract us from the things that pull us down. Music should be not only a source for political ideas but also a source of hope.

Probably most of the time I watch children's movies because my kids are on the bus, so it requires them.
