Good video interview, a bit disjointed but I attribute that to fan-submitted questions.
Philip talks about his solo album and Radiohead.I transcribed my favorite part of it, when Philip is asked about the dynamic that keeps Radiohead together. It is familial. This is one of the best quotes I've ever seen about the relationship between the band members! It's about 19 minutes into the interview if you want to watch it.
Philip: "It's a very strong bond in there. And it's not like a group of friends, it's not like a group of colleagues. It is much more akin to a sibling relationship where you have all these common experiences. There is I suppose an underlying trust in it. But you're actually all quite vastly different people within that as well. But, as a lot of siblings find, there is a kind of a shorthand in the way that you work together... Going through formative experiences together. We've been through a few of those and it dates right back to when we were all at school together, so you've been through all those big life changes together... Going from effectively being boys, to toying with the idea of being adults, and at least sticking probably at being mostly boys again... I think that just as in a family, you know each other on the whole very well. I think that's the same case here. You know how to gauge each other. You do that quite intuitively. In that sense, even though you go through these quite intense periods together; actually there needs to be something intuitive at the base of that. To actually make sense of those times and actually still maintain that kind of a true sense of what the band is."
