Thom Yorke Quotes
And I know Im paranoid and neurotic, Ive made a career out of it. - Thom Yorke Quotes
At home Ive got a very puerile, juvenile sense of humour. - Thom Yorke Quotes
Coming from Britain, I was terrified of meeting all these other artists, because artists over there tend to fight with each other a lot, the premise being that theres not enough room for everybody. - Thom Yorke Quotes
Generally speaking, if people are prepared to stick their heads above the power pit, like Zinn says, and absorb whats going on around them, it makes them think. - Thom Yorke Quotes
I dont see it in terms of changing things, but rather using language and music as weapons for fighting a mainstream media which is predominately right wing, and loyal to the political framework and its corporate interests. - Thom Yorke Quotes
I grew up under Thatcher. I grew up believing that I was fundamentally powerless. Then gradually over the years it occurred to me that this was actually a very convenient myth for the state. - Thom Yorke Quotes
I think escape is sort of like coming to a show with ten thousand other people and responding to that moment. Sharing that moment - thats escape. - Thom Yorke Quotes
I think maybe since there isnt a great deal of access to the mainstream media and people dont understand the language of mainstream media, if you put music out there with lyrics that are loosely political, people absorb some of it and spit it back out. - Thom Yorke Quotes
I think no artist can claim to have any access to the truth, or an authentic version of an event. But obviously they have slightly better means at their disposal because they have their art to energize whatever it is theyre trying to write about. They have music. - Thom Yorke Quotes
I think sometimes all the charities are doing is mopping up the blood. Its a shame. - Thom Yorke Quotes
I think the most important thing about music is the sense of escape. - Thom Yorke Quotes
I think were entering a very dangerous time. The West has set itself up, decided its in charge, not for good intentions, not for the benefit of mankind. - Thom Yorke Quotes
I wrote a lot of stuff quickly: pages and pages of notes that seemed pretty incoherent at first. Most of it was taken from the radio because -suddenly being a parent- Id be confronted by the radio giving a news report every hour of the day. - Thom Yorke Quotes
Ive never believed that pop music is escapist trash. Theres always a darkness in it, even amidst great pop music. - Thom Yorke Quotes
If we got into a situation where people start burning our records, then bring it on. Thats the whole point. The gloaming has begun. Were in the darkness. This has happened before. Go read some history. - Thom Yorke Quotes
It is difficult to make political art work. - Thom Yorke Quotes
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. - Thom Yorke Quotes
My argument would be that I dont think there is much thats genuinely political art that is good art. - Thom Yorke Quotes
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 hes screaming right-wing, so there you are. - Thom Yorke Quotes
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 Quotes
So ultimately, its 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 Quotes
Someone needs to tell the truth, but it shouldnt be my job. - Thom Yorke Quotes
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 Quotes
This was something that was obsessing me and creating a writers block. To get involved and get stuck in, get the proper information about whats going on has really helped. - Thom Yorke Quotes
We didnt start out to make a protest record at all. That would have been too shallow. As usual, it was simply a case of absorbing whats going on around us. - Thom Yorke Quotes
We dont have to stand on a soap-box and preach because hopefully were channelling it through the new record. - Thom Yorke Quotes
Well, Ive 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 theres no hope. - Thom Yorke Quotes
You think I have the responsibilty... I have the responsibility to give the fans a good time! - Thom Yorke Quotes
