I get more people approaching me about how good I was in 'Napoleon Dynamite' than being in Coldplay.

I had a couple of years in the mid-2000s where it was really confusing to me. I was like, 'Why is our band sometimes a punch line?'

To me, India's always represented 'everything'; it represents 'all.' Everything is here. You can stay here forever, and you'll never feel like you've missed out on life.

We want to make something that moves us when we hear it. Because after all the hype and awards and whatever, that's all music is.

If you want to be depressed every day, there's plenty of material. The world is crazy.

Anything where we're the butt of the joke, no one tells us about it.

I have a very wonderful separation-divorce. It's a divorce - but it's a weird one.

If you don't let love in, then you can't really give it back.

More idiots should just shut their mouths.

I personally really like getting a proper album with artwork and everything.

You've got to express yourself in life, and it's better out than in. What you reveal, you heal.

So I have probably 1,200 little bits of paper with notes, which when the Ambien really starts to kick in, don't really make much sense. Say what you like about prescription drugs, but they do help when you're sequencing a record.

There comes a point where it doesn't matter how many zeroes are at the end of your bank account.

Economically, unfair trade will benefit nobody in the long run, as poorer countries will be bled totally dry and will become unable to produce anything.

You gotta wear the right trousers if you're gonna be a rock star.

I'm not a great dancer. I'm a great advertisement for freedom of expression. I don't care what you think. I'm having a great time.

Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive.

We aren't cool and never will be.

People who write happy songs are often unhappy.

I'm just a public-schoolboy. I've got a degree. I'm from a middle-class family in Devon. I've got no story.

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.

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

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

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.
