It's not so much that I'm an atheist so much as the sneaking suspicion that I myself may be god
Our merchandised may be over priced, but I think it's reasonable considering I only want more money.
I may be a tough fellow but I have a reflective side as well. Reflective as in I'll bash your head in with a ****ing mirror.
My name may be Thom Yorke, but only I can call me Thom Yorke.
I may have found the cure for cancer, and I think it might be Thom Yorke Serum.
Blair has no environmental credentials as far as I'm concerned.
I'll regularly just burst out into laughter at funerals, at the expense of the dead. What's the difference between a dead person and Thom Yorke? One is talented and the other is dead. **** you grandma
The only thing worse than Radiohead fans is everything else except me
I had a series of mini-breakdowns where the public persona - this thing, this face, this person who writes this music... I would walk past that person in the mirror or listen to that person playing guitar and I didn't know who they were.
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.
We are going into a proper studio on Thursday (August 1 with 192 faders which is a lot of choice a bit like the supermarket and it may all go off before we get to it so we have to eat quick.
We toyed with the idea of making it a double album, but I think that would only have confused everybody even more, so we decided to stick with the songs we picked.
I went to a boys' school, and I didn't realize that most guys join bands because they wanted to get girls. I was not really focused on that the way everybody else was.
By the way, listening back to things we are doing and looking through the lyrics today and stuff, it feels like we are finally getting somewhere. There are lots of songs. Too many to get together straight away. So we will be furiously rehearsing and writing as we go.
