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.

More quotes by Thom Yorke
I once tried playing baseball but I started crying.
Thom Yorke
The concept of Kid A? How about the concept of I kick your ****ing ass
Thom Yorke
Sonic the hedgehog is a beautiful statement on capitalism. You spend your whole life collecting yellow rings and then hit one spike and lose them all. And there is a fat man who wants to kill you.
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 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 got into the music business thinking it was really radical, that it wasn't really a business at all, that it was a lot of people being artistic and creative. Not true, and it made me very depressed.
Thom Yorke
I guess I am narcisstic, but only in the sense that I am brilliant and tortured as well
Thom Yorke
One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom.
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'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here.
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
Hunting Bears is a complex song. A bear, as you know is another term for a chubby chaser. The guitar line is actually the sound of a fat man's thighs rubbing together as he approaches another lardy male for a night of sexual deviance.
Thom Yorke
At a better pace, slower and more calculated No chance of escape.
Thom Yorke
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*.
Thom Yorke
Women's underwear section it's like Narnia's wardrobe for my erotic delights.
Thom Yorke
Metaphorically I am made of chairs. It's a metaphor though. That means I am not actually made of the chairs.
Thom Yorke
If you Americans aren't from the stone age then explain to me how your president is a ****ing pterodactyl
Thom Yorke
Making music for Radiohead is like going to the bathroom, I'm just going to the bathroom constantly, and millions are watching me go to the bathroom.
Thom Yorke
Whenever I meet a beauty, I escape or hide in the corner.
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
