About this Quote

Thom Yorke's quote speaks to the competitive nature of the art world, especially in Britain. He reveals his worry of conference other artists, as he is used to the concept that there is not enough space for everybody to prosper. This worry most likely originates from the concept that if there is insufficient room for everybody, then artists will compete with each other in order to secure their own success. This competitors can result in displeasure and even hostility in between artists, which is something that Yorke was likely attempting to avoid. His quote likewise talks to the idea that success in the art world is restricted, and that there is just so much room for everyone to prosper. This can be a discouraging idea for lots of artists, as it suggests that there is a finite quantity of success to be had.
