Thom Yorke: I was going door-to-door telling people that “Creep” is a bad song when I found myself in a computer store. So I’m sort of sizing up the place, and all of a sudden I get this thought: What if a computer could go drive a car? Then I laughed, ’cause I got the picture of a computer drinking a pint and hanging out with his computer mates. Then all of a sudden I stopped laughing, because I got the idea of what if a computer could play guitar. I was transfixed by this idea. And that’s when I knew: We needed to do an album about that. I came up with the title of the album on the spot. It’s the moment when you give a computer a guitar and say, “Okay, computer…let’s see what you got! Show us your stuff!” Colin says, “No no no, this won’t do; I’m not going to do it.” I was devastated. I wanted to explore the question of what if a computer could play guitar. I knew this was the way to do the album. I told him how much I believed in it, and, to his credit, he listened.

Colin Greenwood: I was skeptical up until the moment when Thom drew me a picture of a computer with mechanical hands holding a guitar and I could sort of see it. How a computer could play guitar, I mean. Once I saw that picture, I was on board.

Thom Yorke: From the beginning, my goal was to make an album that would get us all sent to jail for the rest of our lives.

Ed O’Brien: Thom’s problem with Pablo Honey and The Bends was that neither of those albums had resulted in jail time for the band. I don’t know why he wanted us all to go to jail, but he was very insistent that we should all spend 20 to 30 years in jail to be considered a real band.

The band often jokes that I stole Jonny's "H" and put it in my name. That's funny as hell motherfucker I dare you not to laugh. - Thom Yorke
