I distinctly remember when "OK Computer" came out and you had people going, 'Yeah, but it's not "The Bends" is it? It's got all this weird stuff on it.' 'Why are they being weird? Why can't they just be normal?' F*** it. It's just nostalgia. It's like telling painters how to paint. It's not my problem. Hide

You just can't take anything for granted - and I'm glad I haven't taken anything from granted because it's sort of like putting on a brand-new face and still expecting people to recognize you. That's how it's felt. And it's an odd situation to just sort of start again without the big Radiohead flag, which guarantees this insane level of scrutiny. It's nice to take it off, but it sort of throws you a bit as well. Hide

We have to stop the oil giants pushing into the Arctic. An oil spill in the Arctic would devastate this region of breath-taking beauty, while burning that oil will only add to the biggest problem we all face, climate change. Hide

[on Atoms for Peace] It's been a weird build-up because in calling it not me - in calling it another thing - people don't necessarily make the connection, which is kind of mad. So it's been sort of like starting again with a band a trying to say to people, "This is this thing." And then I can't really explain it either because it's not really a band. Hide

I can be very drunk in a club in Oxford on a Monday night and some guy comes up to you and buys you a drink and says that the last record you made changed his life. That means something. Hide

People in bands don't have the kind of conversations people might think they have. The best things about being in a band are the things that are unsaid. You click together in the studio or whatever and that's enough to make you feel close to each other. There are no long nights of bonding where you tell each other your innermost fears. Hide
