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.

There's war - there's always been war, as long as most of us have been alive. There have always been people being abused, there's always been horrible things in the world. Why are we outraged? We should just be quiet and figure it out, and work it out together.

South Africa gives me a perspective of what's real and what's not real. So I go back to South Africa to both lose myself and gain awareness of myself. Every time I go back, it doesn't take long for me to get caught into a very different thing. A very different sense of myself.

When I look at how fortunate I've been, being a musician... my response to being overpaid is that I should pay it back to my community in some way.

You seek up an emotion and your cup is overflowing, you seek up an emotion sometimes your well is dry

I don't feel like I'm standing in a position where I have some right above other people to say what I think. We should all be talking to each other about what we think is important - whether we're in politics, or whether we're checking out at a grocery store. We shouldn't put walls up between each other.

I hate to admit it, but we're badass.

For a moment this good time would never end You and me Just wasting time I was kissing you You were kissing me love From good day into a moonlight

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.

I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.

I see you young and soft oh little baby Little feet, little hands, little baby One year of crying and the words creep up inside Creep into your mind So much to say

So let us sleep outside tonight, Lay down in our mother's arms, for here we can rest safely.

I've never been much of a craftsman, in an educated way. But I think just the experience of writing makes the avenues I follow a little more efficient in some ways. At the same time, when you're young, you're a little more fearless, and there's less of an internal critic.

It's funny, I get a little quieter with time. I don't want to chase my tail and one day repeat myself and repeat myself and one day have kids going to college and not have memories that I should, because I was too busy doing my thing.

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

I'm a fairly tormented artist, and I'm less willing to indulge myself in self-pity, outside of songwriting.

In so many areas of life, I'm a spaz and incompetent.

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

I'm from a very politically and socially conscious family. My mother always made a point of making us look at what was going on around us and take stock of our part in it.

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
