More quotes by 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.
Thom Yorke
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.
Thom Yorke
I've been reading a book lately. That book is Thom Yorke, and the conclusion is that he's brilliant.
Thom Yorke
As a boy I was a hermit crab, but I soon came out of my shell. Now I am a pincer crab, and soon I will be at my full power as a deadly nuclear lobster.
Thom Yorke

Thom Yorke
Up above Aliens hover Making home movies For the folks back home Of all these weird creatures Who lock up their spirits Drill holes in themselves And live for their secrets.
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

The concept of Kid A? How about the concept of I kick your ****ing ass
Thom Yorke
I ultimately decided that I couldn't beat it more than three times a day, (I) was just too drained and chapped. That's what Radiohead is about. You're just drained and chapped, down there.
Thom Yorke
I could not extrapolate some emotion from any song after 1997 so I bought a drum machine and popped pills. The pink ones make me funny like elephants!
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
I didn't ask to be Thom Yorke. Thom Yorke asked to be me.
Thom Yorke
The head of state Has called for me by name But I don't have time for him It's gonna be a glorious day I feel my luck could change
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
The video of 'Paranoid Android' has been censored by MTV. They took all nipples out of the cartoon, but they had no problem with the scene in which a man cuts off his own arms and legs.
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
Amnesiac was written to make fun of senior citizens with alzheimers. I hate them and I wish they'd die.
Thom Yorke
I want to be alone and I want people to notice me — both at the same time.
