The only thing worse than Radiohead fans is everything else except me
Radiohead is overrated. Thom Yorke's solo output, however, is brilliant.
Have you ever seen any member of radiohead aside from me in public? Do they interact or 'lift' objects? Holograms, all of them. I created them in 1991 using my massive brainpower. Even pitchforkmedia is a product of my brilliant imagination.
The hardest part about being in Radiohead is listening to my own music.
What the hell am I doing here?
I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here.
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.
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.
Most Radiohead songs are actually REM songs, I just have a mentally ill child read the lyrics aloud and then I change the melodies a bit.
In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe In a fast German car I'm amazed that I survived An airbag saved my life
I am all the days that you choose to ignore.
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
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.
