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

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.

When my best friends doubt their little black dresses, they call me on the telephone seeking reassurance.

I think sometimes people are scared to change. Sometimes people are scared to do something different, especially if they've been successful at something.

Night has become painful for me. It brings to light the regrets of the day.

When a man can do better than everyone else in the same walk he does not make any very painful exertions to outdo himself. The progress of improvement ceases nearly at the point where competition ends.

By the time Obama came into office, Washington had already agreed over a period of a few weeks to a $700 billion government infusion into the world banking system. Nothing of the sort had ever been done before, and it was done spit spot with very little national debate.

Conservation is the application of common sense to the common problems for the common good.

I feel kind of like the black sheep in Congress, but here I am.

It's perfectly okay if you don't understand every single one of them. For one thing, I make a lot of corny jokes, and you have to be 40 years old to get some of them.

Only he deserves power who every day justifies it.

The right word is always a power, and communicates its definiteness to our action.

When you care about human beings, you do your best to not repress and to not let people to repress and to not arm people to repress.

I feel like, genre-wise, the walls are coming down in Nashville. There are so many writers who have moved to town from all walks of life. There's this immense respect for country, but there are pop songwriters, R&B. Nashville has become sort of this go-to writing city for every genre.

Groupon looked like a very high valuation, but any investment in a great company at any stage is almost always a good investment.

Just don't pull out your phone at all on the first date.
