I'm happy to write 10 times too much music.

I think I'll always feel a little in awe whenever I see someone in their 20s or 30s carrying a cello or violin case - because I know, if they're doing it professionally, how many years of practice have gone into being able to make music with them. And the sounds they can make just hit me very hard, and feel full of limitless complexity.

Everything I know about pop culture I know from 'The Simpsons,' and they say the Grammys aren't very good.

I think guitarists are really over-admired and over-revered.

It feels like Radiohead are famous, but that no one knows who we are. Which is brilliant, really.

I suppose all of us - we have the old Protestant work ethic of feeling guilty when you're not working, and getting a buzz from feeling like you're really busy. That's the reason to sort of carry on.

It's like that scene from The Player when they talk about merging Star Wars and Kramer vs. Kramer, or whatever. You could do that with music and it would just be awful.
