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.

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.

Over and over again, financial experts and wonkish talking heads endeavor to explain these mysterious, 'toxic' financial instruments to us lay folk. Over and over, they ignobly fail, because we all know that no one understands credit default obligations and derivatives, except perhaps Mr. Buffett and the computers who created them.

I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.

There's my education in computers, right there; this is the whole thing, everything I took out of a book.

And my real enemy is not to hold the specimen sterile, but it's the lighting. The light is our real enemy. So we have to work with very very poor lighting. But we can increase the light with computers.

Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. We'll have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today.

Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.

The big question society will have to answer is whether it wants computers thinking like humans.

Diaspora starts about a thousand years from now. Most of human civilisation has moved inside computers; essentially, a major branch of our descendants consists of conscious software.

I do two things. I design mobile computers and I study brains.

Well, we didn't have our original drummer on our last record. And most of that album was not played as a band in the studio. It was mostly the world of computers and overdubs. There was very few things played live or worked out as a band.

After a semester or so, my infatuation with computers burnt out as quickly as it had begun.

Learning can take place in the backyard if there is a human being there who cares about the child. Before learning computers, children should learn to read first. They should sit around the dinner table and hear what their parents have to say and think.

Computers rather frighten me, because I never did learn to type, so the whole thing seems extraordinarily complicated to me.

They were saying computers deal with numbers. This was absolutely nonsense. Computers deal with arbitrary information of any kind.
