“The best bass players are the ones you don't notice.”

“Bass is the foundation of the song. It's the glue.”

“It's all about the music. We don't want to be celebrities.”

“You have to be open to change. That's the only way you survive as a band.”

“It's about the chemistry between the five of us. That's what makes Radiohead.”

“The great thing about being in a band is that you can be a part of something that's bigger than yourself.”

“I love playing live. It's where the music really comes alive.”

“We've always tried to push ourselves and not repeat what we've done before.”

“Being in a band is like being in a family. You have your ups and downs.”

“I think people connect with our music because it's honest.”

“We're just five guys from Oxford who got lucky.”

“You can't really control how people perceive you. All you can do is be yourself.”

“Technology has changed everything, but the core of writing a good song is still the same.”

“The most exciting thing is to play a new song for the first time and the audience gets it.”
