I don't mind not being cool.

We rely more on enthusiasm than actual skill. Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically and people will like it more.

Coldplay fans are the best in the world. If you like Coldplay then you're obviously very intelligent and good looking and all-around brilliant.

My philosophy at the moment is that I'm great - and so is everybody else. You have to fit your own oxygen mask. That's really my philosophy now: our band is the best band in the world. And so are all the other bands.

I just want to make the best music of all time with my best friends.

I've never been cool and I don't really care about being cool. It's just an awful lot of time and hair gel wasted.

I don't drink, I don't take drugs, I don't smoke.

I'm petrified of reincarnation because, you know, I like being me.

This person loves tangerines, This person loves raspberries - and my son won't even look at berries. Isn't that amazing? And so I have to apply that to music; otherwise, I would always hide in a hole because of all the people that don't like Coldplay.
