We are kind of one step removed, not really in the center of things.

In OK Computer, the guitar was already moving towards a tone generator as well as a riff generator.

I've seen the Mass For The End Of Time in concert but my brother's the more musical one really.

It's a full on job just looking for human social responsibility.

One of the books we read a few years ago that had a big effect on us was Repeated Takes by Michael Chanan.

The thing about rock is that people are not just interested in bands because of where they want to go. It's where they want to escape from that matters.

I trained as a classical guitarist but that was it.

With Dollars And Cents on the album, we had it as a band jam and I sometimes spend evenings playing with records over the top of things we were working on to see what works.

I mean, I'm in a band, we're reasonably successful, I've got a very nice suit - I'm not even a bad person- so why can't I get a shag?

The trick with computers I think, is to approach old and new things with the same reverence as you would like your favourite chair and not be seduced by the constant innovation otherwise you never do anything.

Jonny doesn't want to do TV interviews because he thinks that he comes across as an idiot.

Limits are very important.

We try to treat everywhere we play differently and that's really important.

If you're working on a computer and you're editing bass, it looks like a warm curvy, sort of feminine object.

You should approach a sequencer like you would a Dobro guitar.

I don't listen to much modern composition.

People need to focus on bigger issues instead of whether George Bush is an idiot or not.

I don't think anything's underground anymore. And I think that's a good thing. Everything is up for grabs.

There's no point apologizing about where you come from.

I'm going to have classical piano lessons next.

With our website we didn't want people to come to our site and find out about Radiohead. We wanted them to come to our site and find out about what Radiohead are finding out about.

For me that's what's fascinating about the internet, that aggregate thing.

Our site should be like Paddington Station with a much better version of WH Smith's in it.

In Kid A and Amnesiac, the guitar becomes one more texture, difficult to separate from other textures.

When we rehearse, we're always trying to aim for something else. But we never quite succeed in getting there.

Coltrane would do what you'd get a Roland Pro Tools module to do but with a group of jazz musicians.

Motion Picture Soundtrack on Kid A was another Coltrane inspiration.

Bill Withers and Curtis Mayfield, those are the people who informed me in playing the bass.

We stuck the record head so it kept on recording over and over on top of itself and played keyboard notes into it to create this ghost repetition melody.

The guitar is a much more efficient machine than a computer. More responsive.

My page is junk, because I hate putting anything to do with me on the site, it just feels wrong.

Phil is a real drummer's drummer.

Warp was important to Thom about two years ago when he was looking for different sounds.

You should approach technological things in a nostalgic way.

Times have changed since George Herbert... but the principle and spirit in which he ministered as a priest remains an inspiration and model for all priests.

Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

Yes, and I can sit down on a white piece of paper and work because I don't believe too much into inspiration, only I'm waiting for inspiration, work and then inspiration may come. It's a little too easy to say that.

Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.

If the script is telling the story well, that is your inspiration, and you do not need to go somewhere else.

Better beware of notions like genius and inspiration; they are a sort of magic wand and should be used sparingly by anybody who wants to see things clearly.

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.

The prophets, who were very many, proclaim and declare the one God; for, being filled with the inspiration of the one God, they predicted things to come, with agreeing and harmonious voice.

One of the things I try to be very careful of is not taking a movie when I know I have no inspiration left.

The men who have furnished me with my greatest inspiration have not been men of wealth, but men of deeds.

Because I don't play guitar any more, African harmonies and rhythms have been an inspiration to me. I love the raw origin of the sound. It complements my voice and words naturally.

Inspiration doesn't really work like that - you're not looking out for it. Inspiration is something that tends to capture you rather than you capture it.

Any composer who is gloriously conscious that he is a composer must believe that he receives his inspiration from a source higher than himself.
