PHILIP SELWAY

I think I needed the resilience of approaching my late 30s to come to terms with the resilience I required to learn to sing.

Listening back to your speaking voice for the first time, unless you're James Earl Jones, it's a quite distressing process for most people.

All of us are extremely competitive. We're kind of competitive with how we work on Radiohead stuff. Having said that, there's also a lot of support.

Anything that broadens your musicality always moves the way you write drum or guitar parts.

You are never, ever gonna get a drummer to dis another one. It's part of the drumming rules, as important as being able to keep pace or smashing up hotel rooms. Drummers do not dis!

I've always been very happy with my role in Radiohead. You're very much a part of everything, but you're much more of a shadowy figure.

When I first started drumming, when I was 14 or 15, I started writing songs. I wrote for a couple of years, but when we started 'Radiohead' it became very apparent quite quickly that I just wanted to concentrate on the drumming.
