It Would Be Really Nice To Be Able To Put Out Releases That Wouldn't Be Conditional Upon An Album Format, And Just Put Out Music In Different Ways.

In Kid A And Amnesiac, The Guitar Becomes One More Texture, Difficult To Separate From Other Textures.

Occasionally I Play The Music For My Mother When She Demands To Hear It And She Always Just Says, 'who Is That Singing? I Don't Like The Singing.' And Then She Says 'who's Doing All That Bumpety-bump Noise?' It's All Noise Backing Up Horrible Singing As Far As She's Concerned. She's Not A Show-biz Mother.

A Cardinal Rule Of Bureaucracy Is That It Is Better To Extend An Error Than To Admit A Mistake.

Coltrane Would Do What You'd Get A Roland Pro Tools Module To Do But With A Group Of Jazz Musicians.

No Matter How One Approaches The Figures, One Is Forced To The Rather Startling Conclusion That The Use Of Firearms In Crime Was Very Much Less When There Were No Controls Of Any Sort And When Anyone, Convicted Criminal Or Lunatic, Could Buy Any Type Of Firearm Without Restriction. Half A Century Of Strict Controls On Pistols Has Ended, Perversely, With A Far Greater Use Of This Weapon In Crime Than Ever Before.

People Need To Focus On Bigger Issues Instead Of Whether George Bush Is An Idiot Or Not.

As You Get Older You Realize How Important Your Emotional Response Is To Any Kind Of Music.

Limits Are Very Important.

I've Seen The Mass For The End Of Time In Concert But My Brother's The More Musical One Really.

It's A Full On Job Just Looking For Human Social Responsibility.

There's No Point Apologizing About Where You Come From.

I Mean, I'm In A Band, We're Reasonably Successful, I've Got A Very Nice Suit - I'm Not Even A Bad Person- So Why Can't I Get A Shag?

If You're Working On A Computer And You're Editing Bass, It Looks Like A Warm Curvy, Sort Of Feminine Object.

In Ok Computer, The Guitar Was Already Moving Towards A Tone Generator As Well As A Riff Generator.

I Tend To Play Better In The Studio, No Pressures, Just Sheer Volume And Alcohol.
