Almost every song on OK Computer revolves around how I am afraid computers get up at night and attempt to choke me with their wires.*doesn't laugh*

It's the Devil's way now, There is no way out, You can scream and you can shout, It is too late now.

Enjoy it - making music is a wonderful way to spend your life.. but do it for the love before a career... it's getting so unforgiving out there - I hate to think of the obstacles in the way now for new artists.. if you love it and you are good, you will be fine.. but be prepared to have to work hard and don't judge your success by other peoples opinions.. have self belief.

Isn't it strange how someone can be both human and divine at the same time? I am referring, of course, to myself.

Yes I usually make my kids eat their veggie chops and watch my concerts in dead silence. If they ask to watch spongebob squarepants I usually do something volatile like make them eat a yellow sponge with googly eyes on it. I hit them quite a bit, but then again I blame the condom manufacturing government for forcing me to birth them.

It's not racist if I like the race. But I don't like Asian people.

Open your mouth wide A universal sigh.

And true love waits In haunted attics And true love lives On lollipops and crisps.

Musicians are like politicians. They're the last people who should be making music, just like politicians are the last people who should be running things.

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 had a dream where my face was a hamburger. What the?

Remember that Cosby show where he harrassed the children? Well I put on a little suit and because I am so small they invited me on but nobody was laughing at my jokes. I guess I'm just, too, particularly smart for them.

I bought a blimp just so I could get a bunch of wankers excited over nothing, what did you do with your weekend?

Yeah, after making Pablo Honey, we started experimenting with cloning myself in order to double the band's creative energy. However, the experiment was a failure, and the defective Thom Yorke clone escaped. And formed a band called Muse.

I can't wait to die so I can be a skeleton and play my chest like a xylophone.

If you don't trust everybody on stage with you, then you're in trouble.

My father slapped my thighs with a variety of meats until I began to cry and sulked in the corner. I later became a musician

The difference between me and Bono is that he's quite happy to go and flatter people to get what he wants and he's very good at it, but I just can't do it. I'd probably end up punching them in the face rather than shaking their hand, so it's best that I stay out of their way. I can't engage with that level of bullshit. Which is a shame, really, and in a way it would help if I could, but I just can't. I admire the fact that Bono can, and can walk away from it smelling of roses.

The biggest shock of your life is when you first make a record and go to a show and then people start singing the words. Because it occurs to you that they've listened to it!

The problem is, I cannot meditate. That's the one thing I can't do. That's the thing that's driving me nuts. I have a house by the sea, and I can sit and listen to the sound of the sea and eventually... but I can't really do it.

I have multiple personalities, but, being a fairly uncreative individual, they are all Thom Yorke.

Trying to find my flaws is like trying to find a black person at one of our concerts
