Amnesiac was written to make fun of senior citizens with alzheimers. I hate them and I wish they'd die.
It's easy to be miserable. Being happy is tougher - and cooler.
The allegations of me being a pedophile are spurious, at best. However I will admit that taking my knickers off in the park and having an Easter Egg hunt with those apple-cheeked four year olds was in my best interest and not theirs
I think the most important thing about music is the sense of escape.
I want to be alone and I want people to notice me — both at the same time.
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.
I am all the days that you choose to ignore.
Trying to find my flaws is like trying to find a black person at one of our concerts
I don't eat food, I Thom Yorke it. What's the difference? When normal people "eat" food, they first chew it with their "teeth" until it's small enough to go through their "esophagus" and then be broken down in their "stomach" and absorbed. When I Thom Yorke food, I chew it with my Thom Yorkes until it's small enough to go through my Yorke tube. It's then broken down in my Thomach, where if I eat too much sweets, I get a mean Thommy ache! But it's okay because Jonny's usually there to rub the pain out.
I stopped showering ever since I realized water causes people to drown. I cannot risk being so close to something that can murder me. Do you let killers into your house? Oh, but you let a murderer come out of your own faucet. Hypocrite.
The society, is, a dishwasher, where all the water, is, dead chipmunk blood. God I'm brilliant.
Isn't it strange how someone can be both human and divine at the same time? I am referring, of course, to myself.
If I could be any animal I would be a pony because then I could have sex with ponies.
People sometimes say we take things too seriously, but it's the only way you'll get anywhere.
Sonic the hedgehog is a beautiful statement on capitalism. You spend your whole life collecting yellow rings and then hit one spike and lose them all. And there is a fat man who wants to kill you.
I think artists can influence only through making music that challenges people, excites them and flips them out. Music that repeats what you know in ever-decreasing derivation, that's unchallenging and unstimulating, deadens our minds, our imagination and our ability to see beyond the hell we find ourselves in.
Your fantasies are unlikely. But beautiful.
My dad spent his whole life getting into fights for telling what he believed to be the truth. Basically it comes from my dad-and he's screaming right-wing, so there you are.
My parents mistook me for a sack of potatoes so I sat in the corner of the kitchen for the first 13 years of my life. My birth name is Thom Potatoes.
Metaphorically I am made of chairs. It's a metaphor though. That means I am not actually made of the chairs.
There's the beautiful people and then there's the rest of us.
When people ask me for an autograph I usually ask for a pen and then stab them with it.
If I had one wish I'd wish for a million wishes because I am clever.
Occasionally I'll just pull out a rifle and shoot one of my audience members. So far there have been no complaints filed.
