The allegations of me being a pedophile are spurious, at best. However I will admit that taking my knickers off in the park and having an Easter Egg hunt with those apple-cheeked four year olds was in my best interest and not theirs
Thom Yorke

We didn't start out to make a protest record at all. That would have been too shallow. As usual, it was simply a case of absorbing what's going on around us.

My argument would be that I don't think there is much that's genuinely political art that is good art.

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.

I've been working hard on a new song, it's titled Frozen Piggy Pudding. It's about how the government is full of pigs who eat pudding all day. Oh look a frisbee, allo' govna.

The hardest part about being in Radiohead is listening to my own music.

People are born with certain faces, like my father was born with a face that people want to hit.
Thom Yorke

I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here.
Thom Yorke

Like a fat raccoon rummaging through the garbage, that how I eat. Like a f-king fat raccoon.

And I'm sorry for us The dinosaurs roam the earth The sky turns green.

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*.

I have multiple personalities, but, being a fairly uncreative individual, they are all Thom Yorke.

Well, I've been reading a lot about the fifty years since the Second World War, about Western foreign policy and all that. I try not to let it get to me, but sometimes I just think that there's no hope.

I guess I am narcisstic, but only in the sense that I am brilliant and tortured as well

I'll take a quiet life, A handshake of carbon monoxide. No alarms and no surprises...

It's God's will that millions of people are gonna die this year because of some outmoded economic policies? No, it's not!
