More quotes by Thom Yorke
My only means of self defense is to wiggle my eye and feign being a salamander. It has saved my life but once I was partially eaten by a bald eagle who thought I was a salamander. Hence, my skills. Hence.
Thom Yorke
Sonic the hedgehog is a beautiful statement on capitalism. You spend your whole life collecting yellow rings and then hit one spike and lose them all. And there is a fat man who wants to kill you.
Thom Yorke
I was abducted by aliens as a boy. Aliens is the name of a pedophile who lived in my alley.
Thom Yorke
The concept of Kid A? How about the concept of I kick your ****ing ass
Thom Yorke
And the moral of the story is I'm Thom Yorke.
Thom Yorke
I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
Thom Yorke
Remember that Cosby show where he harrassed the children? Well I put on a little suit and because I am so small they invited me on but nobody was laughing at my jokes. I guess I'm just, too, particularly smart for them.
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.

The hardest part about being in Radiohead is listening to my own music.
Thom Yorke
I became a vegan because I'm better than you
Thom Yorke
It's the Devil's way now, There is no way out, You can scream and you can shout, It is too late now.
Thom Yorke
Do you think Radiohead is my whole goddamn life? I also have a roadside cart where I sell apples and mincemeat pies.
Thom Yorke
Maybe I'm not the gloaming witches smart, but at least I'm not our stupid liffey hamburger mongrels
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
I once got hit with a taser at a concert and everyone thought I was dancing. Now I have to do that dance, at every show for the rest of my life, or admit that a taser can damage the Thom Yorke
Thom Yorke
There's an upside to the digital thing from my point of view because I find that I have access to all this wacky, weird-ass dance-music stuff that I just can't go into a shop and buy on vinyl.
Thom Yorke
The video of 'Paranoid Android' has been censored by MTV. They took all nipples out of the cartoon, but they had no problem with the scene in which a man cuts off his own arms and legs.
Thom Yorke
Where are you sleeping tonight? Face down in the mud? That's a British tradition: Take acid and fall asleep in some field.
Thom Yorke
Amnesiac was written to make fun of senior citizens with alzheimers. I hate them and I wish they'd die.
Thom Yorke
I don’t see it in terms of changing things, but rather using language and music as weapons for fighting a mainstream media which is predominately right-wing, and loyal to the political framework and it’s corporate interests.
