More quotes by Thom Yorke
I became a vegan because I'm better than you
Thom Yorke
Music is more difficult - try naming a political band. The Dead Kennedys. The Dead Kennedys are political, but they are more funny than they are political.
Thom Yorke
Women's underwear section it's like Narnia's wardrobe for my erotic delights.
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
If I could be any famous person, I'd be John Wilkes Booth, because I'd love to shoot Abraham Lincoln in the face
Thom Yorke
Rock music is, is a necessary evil, like beating my children with penny loafers
Thom Yorke
I think what makes people ill a lot of the time is the belief that your thoughts are concrete and that you're responsible for your thoughts. Whereas actually - the way I see it - your thoughts are what the wind blows through your mind.
Thom Yorke
If there are political programs on TV, yet it takes an artist to actually energize political debate, that tells you something really quite frightening about the level of the political debate happening on mainstream channels - right-wing-biased mothers.
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
It's a fine line between writing something with genuine emotional impact and turning into little idiots feeling sorry for ourselves and playing stadium rock.
Thom Yorke
You'll go to Hell For what your Dirty mind is thinking.
Thom Yorke
Trying to find my flaws is like trying to find a black person at one of our concerts
Thom Yorke
I once tried playing baseball but I started crying.
Thom Yorke
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.
Thom Yorke
If Radiohead were a fruit we would be apples, because apples are festive
Thom Yorke
I'd go onstage doing this thing, trying to fill this arena that I can't fill because I don't understand what this is. It's like you're given a job that's beyond you. And it's taken me years to realize what works in those big situations.
Thom Yorke
I think sometimes all the charities are doing is mopping up the blood. It’s a shame.
Thom Yorke
You know, it's never easy to understand why I do what I do. For other people, I mean.
Thom Yorke
And true love waits In haunted attics And true love lives On lollipops and crisps
Thom Yorke
I'm not taking things quite so seriously as before. Especially myself.
Thom Yorke
