I've always been very happy with my role in Radiohead. You're very much a part of everything, but you're much more of a shadowy figure.

Anything that broadens your musicality always moves the way you write drum or guitar parts.

All of us are extremely competitive. We're kind of competitive with how we work on Radiohead stuff. Having said that, there's also a lot of support.

I am somewhat exhausted

Arrogance is the last thing to die

Writing is my only interest. Even speaking is an interruption.

I'm going to kill that god of yours, next. Then we'll see what you can do, and what you can't.

Avoid sloth, bad company, dangerous conversations, and games; remembering that time passes and never returns, that you have a soul, and that if you lose your soul, you lose all.

Constancy of purpose is the first principle of success.

History is an omlette. THe eggs are already broken.

I try to manage my day by my circadian rhythms because the creativity is such an elusive thing, and I could easily just stomp over it doing my administrative stuff.

In the faint moonlight, the grass is singing

Above all things I hope the education of the common people will be attended to; convinced that on their good sense we may rely with most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty.
