Thom Yorke quotes
" You think I have the responsibilty... I have the responsibility to give the fans a good time! "

Thom Yorke
" Well, it only dawned on me about six months ago that not everybody's against me all the time. It was something of a revelation. "

Thom Yorke
" We don't have to stand on a soap-box and preach because hopefully we're channelling it through the new record. "

Thom Yorke
" Well, I've been reading a lot about the fifty years since the Second World War, about Western foreign policy and all that. I try not to let it get to me, but sometimes I just think that there's no hope. "

Thom Yorke
" We didn't start out to make a protest record at all. That would have been too shallow. As usual, it was simply a case of absorbing what's going on around us. "

Thom Yorke
" This was something that was obsessing me and creating a writer's block. To get involved and get stuck in, get the proper information about what's going on has really helped. "

Thom Yorke
" 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. "

Thom Yorke
" The people in charge, globally, are maniacs. They are maniacs, and unless we do something about it these people are going to deprive us of a future. "

Thom Yorke
" Someone needs to tell the truth, but it shouldn't be my job. "

Thom Yorke
" So ultimately, it's idealistic to think that artists are able to step away from the power of the media and the way it controls things, and go on doing their own things. "

Thom Yorke
" One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom. "

Thom Yorke
" Obviously, the duty of artists is there, but it's more an indictment of the political system that someone like Zinn views artists as the seers, idealizing them as the people responsible for inspiring change. "

Thom Yorke
" 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. "

Thom Yorke
" My argument would be that I don't think there is much that's genuinely political art that is good art. "

Thom Yorke
" Music is more difficult - try naming a political band. The Dead Kennedys. The Dead Kennedys are political, but they are more funny than they are political. "
