The only thing more difficult than being a God is being Thom Yorke. Thom Yorke has all these responsibilities, to save the planet. To save the world. To redeem Thom Yorke.
One person can't change the world. But Thom Yorke can, because he's two people. Both of them are Thom Yorke.
Can you imagine a world in which the letter O does not exist? My name would be Thm Yrke. Think about that.
I wanted to live with the ****ing manta rays, but they banned me from Sea World.
If I could do just one thing to change the world, I'd make everyone Thom Yorke, and this would be paradise.
I'm not afraid of computers taking over the world.
I'm not afraid of computers taking over the world. They're just sitting there. I can hit them with a two by four.
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
Blair has no environmental credentials as far as I'm concerned.
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 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.
