I tell you what's really ridiculous--going into a bookstore and there's all these books about yourself. In a way, it feels like you're already dead.

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

Performing is great, but you are exposed to all this extra stuff that you don't have to deal with when you stop. I'm getting used to it now, but it's kind of just the fallout. It's really weird. It's not a natural situation to be in. It sounds like moaning, because I know that's what I'm supposed to do, and I'm not moaning.

It's easy to be miserable. Being happy is tougher - and cooler.

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.

The hardest part about being in radiohead is being inside a giant head that is a radio. Ha ha, little english humour there, or is it a hammer?
Thom Yorke
Image
If I weren't in Radiohead I'd be working at a grocery store, I'd be that creepy guy who lives in an efficiency apartment and collects salted, cured meats.
Thom Yorke

I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.

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
Image
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

If the media spotlight affects my work or represses what I want to say in the future, then it is bad.

If you Americans aren't from the stone age then explain to me how your president is a ****ing pterodactyl

I was abducted by aliens as a boy. Aliens is the name of a pedophile who lived in my alley.

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

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*.
