All of our saddest songs have somewhere in them at least a glimmer of resolve - Street Spirit has no resolve. It is the dark tunnel without the light at the end.

More quotes by 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.
Thom Yorke
I'll take a quiet life, A handshake of carbon monoxide. No alarms and no surprises...
Thom Yorke
Nobody wins the superbowl, I win the superbowl. I am the superbowl.
Thom Yorke
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.
Thom Yorke
My parents mistook me for a sack of potatoes so I sat in the corner of the kitchen for the first 13 years of my life. My birth name is Thom Potatoes.

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 once wrote a song so beautiful that I myself couldn't sing it. It's called Plastic Government Cheese Swan, and it's about how the world is plastic and full of government cheese swans.
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
I'm achingly aware of my own limitations as both part of the human race and as an individual. I'm just, casting this out that, maybe, I'm not so perfect as is the affront I oft put on. After all, the lyric is 'I wish I was special'. I truly just want to be loved and accepted, I think, like all humans.
Thom Yorke
I'm baking stories, and singing cookies, oh the tonderous wimes!
Thom Yorke
If I was made of chocolate I would melt myself in a car to ruin the interior.
Thom Yorke
I don't write lyrics, the lyrics write Thom Yorke
Thom Yorke
Sometimes I stand in store windows and pretend to be a mannequin. People are like 'hey, that mannequin looks alot like thom yorke' Then I start to sing The Gloaming and lurch toward them and they run off horrified.
