More quotes by Thom Yorke
I can't wait to die so I can be a skeleton and play my chest like a xylophone.
Thom Yorke
Sometimes we and the members of Coldplay have an orgy together, (Martin) insists we don't invite any women, but I always invite a few. Usually I sing Fake Plastic Trees while he reams me from behind *Laughs* It wears me out *laughs*.
Thom Yorke
Every move you make has already been done, and taken the piss out of.
Thom Yorke
Space Jam is my favorite movie. Don't ask me why, it just is.
Thom Yorke
I wrote a lot of stuff quickly: pages and pages of notes that seemed pretty incoherent at first. Most of it was taken from the radio because -suddenly being a parent- I'd be confronted by the radio giving a news report every hour of the day.
Thom Yorke
My parents mistook me for a sack of potatoes so I sat in the corner of the kitchen for the first 13 years of my life. My birth name is Thom Potatoes.
Thom Yorke
I think sometimes all the charities are doing is mopping up the blood. It’s a shame.
Thom Yorke
Most Radiohead songs are actually REM songs, I just have a mentally ill child read the lyrics aloud and then I change the melodies a bit.
Thom Yorke

Thom Yorke
I'm banned from Middlebrook elementary for telling dirty jokes to the janitor. The janitor! He cleans up dirt for a living.
Thom Yorke

Thom Yorke
My argument would be that I don't think there is much that's genuinely political art that is good art.
Thom Yorke
Women's underwear section it's like Narnia's wardrobe for my erotic delights.
Thom Yorke
My nickname in high school was jack-o-lantern because I'm missing 9 teeth
Thom Yorke
I wear my pants on my upper torso to be abstract and different.
Thom Yorke
I'm achingly aware of my own limitations as both part of the human race and as an individual. I'm just, casting this out that, maybe, I'm not so perfect as is the affront I oft put on. After all, the lyric is 'I wish I was special'. I truly just want to be loved and accepted, I think, like all humans.
Thom Yorke
In America, there seems to be more focus on the idea that it's important to do things differently. In Britain, it's not an issue.
Thom Yorke
My songs are my kids. Some of them stay with me, some others I have to send out, out to the war. It might sound stupid and it might even sound naive, but that's just the way it is.
Thom Yorke
Kid A is about an abortion. An abortion of the soul. *Begins to cry, holds up air quotes* Thom Yorke.
Thom Yorke
My uncle used to sit me on his lap and play ventriloquist, only I wasn't wearing pants.
