I like playing the stuff where I don´t know what I´m gonna play. Like the end of Fake Plastic Trees or the end of Paranoid Android - stuff where I can do anything and no one notices or cares.

I suppose subconsciously I was thinking in terms of having the scale of it matching the scale of the images. Hence the sort of string quartet, jazz band and electronic stuff.

When people say you're doing something radical in rock or dance music, I'm not sure how special that is. What we do is so old-fashioned. It's like trying to do something innovative in tap-dancing.

Anything that has more of Graham's guitar playing, I'm bound to like.

Everything I know about pop culture I know from 'The Simpsons,' and they say the Grammys aren't very good.

I'm quite into listening to music and not doing anything else.

I think it should be ambitious and good music does deal with life and art and all these wonderful things.

Everything I do feels like It's going to end up being in Radiohead.

I'm pampered like you wouldn't believe.

I think guitarists are really over-admired and over-revered.

I suppose all of us - we have the old Protestant work ethic of feeling guilty when you're not working, and getting a buzz from feeling like you're really busy. That's the reason to sort of carry on.

Sometimes I think I look like a sheep between wolves so I answer where is shepherded? Sometimes I think I am the wolf so I answer where are the sheep-dogs?

To live is to grow.

The noise around me blurs, and all I can focus on is his lips and breath and presence.

I use a lot of sense memory and, well, I can't really avoid getting into character.

You have to be as light as you can be and not get weighed down and stuck in your emotion, stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to always be trying to elevate somehow.

There's always a reason for everything.

Lawyers and rogues are vermin not easily rooted out of a rich soil.

I think what you have to do is have a box office success in every genre and then you're set for life. And fortunately, I happened to do that, so I get a myriad of offers of various sorts.

Ralph Lauren and Valentino have a lot of common. Ralph Lauren was one of the first really to put himself at the center of the story, and Valentino was even earlier.

I've always been a very self-aware person.
