Quote by Thom Yorke

“Performing is great, but you are exposed to all this extra stuff that you don't have to deal with when you stop. I'm getting used to it now, but it's kind of just the fallout. It's really weird. It's not a natural situation to be in. It sounds like moaning, because I know that's what I'm supposed to do, and I'm not moaning.”

“I'm a big fan of things in writing in general that are subtle, that suggest something without actually in-your-face saying it. And it's funny, I've started to notice it, I started to see it after a while, that that's kind of a way of writing that I was doing. But I didn't set about to do that.”

“With voice acting, it liberates you to play characters you'd never do in a million years because you're physically not right.

You come in and you kick everyone's ass and you get your own ass kicked, and then you go home.”

I think, at least for these books, I'm going with fear. I've always been interested in fear. Fear is something I've dealt with in life, and I think it's the main motivating factor of everything, almost. From sex to politics.”

“Fear of death is understandable, being that we are all going to die, but fear of life and suffering is more of an irrational fear because it's something that can be avoided. The torturous part is that suffering can be avoided if you have good luck. That's somewhat out of our hands, but is it? I don't know. "Is bad luck self-harm by another name?"”

“On the one hand I'm writing about somebody about whom I say in the book, "The only thing worse than being a statistic is being a statistical anomaly." So I'm writing about a particularly unlucky person. So that's a special type of hell, to be particularly unlucky.”
