Well actually I'm not a man but a carrot. The band was eating salads one day and a carrot fell off of the salad bar onto a microphone and the band realized that they had just discovered something brilliant. Me.

More quotes by Thom Yorke
I tied a bunch of balloons to a beach chair and tried to float up to heaven. *begins to weep* There's no heaven, and birds tried to kill me! *shrivels up*
Thom Yorke
I feel like as musicians we need to fight the Spotify thing. I feel that in some ways what's happening in the mainstream is the last gasp of the old industry. Once that does finally die, which it will, something else will happen.
Thom Yorke
I bought a blimp just so I could get a bunch of wankers excited over nothing, what did you do with your weekend?
Thom Yorke
I don't write lyrics, the lyrics write Thom Yorke
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
I'm Chris Martin with down syndrome
Thom Yorke
I jumped in the river, what did I see? Black-eyed angels swam with me A moon full of stars and astral cars And all the figures I used to see All my lovers were there with me All my past and futures And we all went to heaven in a little row boat There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt.
Thom Yorke
And I'm sorry for us The dinosaurs roam the earth The sky turns green.
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 had a dream where my face was a hamburger. What the?
Thom Yorke
I'm absolutely terrified that people can get into cars. It's like the car is a face, and the headlight is eyes, and when you open the car door it's like you're climbing into the ears. (I cannot) be inside a giant rolling robot head.
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
I cannot read a fortune cookie without breaking down and crying. I am sensitive.
Thom Yorke
Almost every song on OK Computer revolves around how I am afraid computers get up at night and attempt to choke me with their wires.*doesn't laugh*
Thom Yorke
If I had one wish I'd wish for a million wishes because I am clever.
Thom Yorke
Have I told you I have cancer? It's a very special kind of cancer. Cancer of the soul.
Thom Yorke
you have not been / paying attention

Trying to find my flaws is like trying to find a black person at one of our concerts
Thom Yorke
It annoys me how pretty my voice is...that sounds incredibly immodest, but it annoys me how polite it can sound when perhaps what I'm singing is deeply acidic.
Thom Yorke
The band name came about when the original vocalist died when a huge radio fell on his head. He trotted about for a while dancing with the radio on his head, before he died of asphyxiation and blood loss. *Laughs* it was hilarious
