My style is so tightly tied in with our songs that i don't think you could even ask me to quit radiohead and play guitar for another band. i don't think i could do it. it would probably reveal me to be the bluffer that i believe i am. that's how it feels. i wouldn't have the confidence to do anything but this.

More From Jonny Greenwood

My reaction to radiohead isn't as simple as jealousy. jealousy just burns; radiohead infuriate me. but if it were only that, i wouldn't go back and listen to those records again and again. listening to radiohead makes me fell like i'm a salieri to their mozart. yorke's lyrics make me want to give up. i could never in my wildest dreams find something as beautiful as they find for a single song - let alone album after album.

I'm always happiest trying new instruments - and honestly enjoy playing, say, the glockenspiel with radiohead as much as i do the guitar. i think regular touring has forced me to play the guitar more than anything else, which is why i'm probably most confident playing that. and whist i'd be lost if i couldn't play it too, i dislike the totemic worship of the thing... magazines, collectors, and so on. i enjoy struggling with instruments i can't really play.

What interested me about chuck berry was the way he could step out of the rhythm part with such ease, throwing in a nice, simple riff, and then drop straight into the feel of it again. we used to play a lot more rhythm stuff. we'd do away with the differences between lead and rhythm guitar. you can't go into a shop and ask for a "lead guitar". you're a guitar player, and you play a guitar.

That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.

I was listening to jimi hendrix and pink floyd, because that was new music for me. i really hadn't been up on them. i mean, i'd heard of them, but i wasn't up on their music. and i kept listening to radiohead, and i was like, man, i want to make hip-hop that feels like radiohead. i want to make hip-hop that can use guitars and soul and jazz and just fuse it all together.

Everybody really knows what to do to have his life filled with joy. what is it? quit hating people; start loving them. quit being mad at people; start liking them. quit doing wrong; quit being filled with fear. quit thinking about yourself and go out and do something for other people. everybody knows what you have to do to be happy. but the wisdom of the test lies in the final words: "if ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."

I had rather be in hell with christ, than be in heaven without him.

Christian love, either towards god or towards man, is an affair of the will.

He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the christian king of great britain. determined to keep open a market where men should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce...

I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while i hold by my own religion, i should hold other religions as dear as hinduism. so we can only pray, if we were hindus, not that a christian should become a hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a hindu should become a better hindu, a muslim a better muslim, and a christian a better christian.
