I don't mind not being cool.

I'm just a public-schoolboy. I've got a degree. I'm from a middle-class family in Devon. I've got no story.

Anything that we think is incredible and beautiful and wonderful, we ascribe to something that we don't know what it is.

I would still give my left ball to write anything as good as OK Computer.

Although it's painful at the time, most of the things that people have said about us negatively - some of them are true and you can work on them, and the ones that you don't agree with, you don't work on.

Even though the album is an endangered species, can we try and make a coherent and good one, even if it's like making a horse and cart at a Nascar conference?

I have my moments - usually twice every album - when I basically lose it.
