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.
You've got to express yourself in life, and it's better out than in. What you reveal, you heal.
We rely more on enthusiasm than actual skill. Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically and people will like it more.
You gotta wear the right trousers if you're gonna be a rock star.
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.
I don't mind not being cool.
Going through something difficult in your life, music, for me, is always a friend and something that helps you to figure things out.
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.

It's difficult when you're successful, to admit that you need help.
When you don't have food in your life, just for a day, it makes you realise you're lucky to have it the next day. So the day after fasting, the music that comes out will be very joyous.

There's stuff going on in the world right now, which you can't imagine why is this happening; it's crazy. I don't know what the answer is, but if you didn't have faith in the universe that somehow something great would arrive at the end, then we'd all give up, and that would be a waste of everyone's time.
If you don't let love in, then you can't really give it back.
If a few companies were less greedy, the people at the bottom woud have a lot more.
More idiots should just shut their mouths.
You can try to be catchy without being slick, poppy without being pop, and you can be uplifting without being pompous. Because we're sometimes playing quieter stuff, it's hard to sound like we're trying to change things, but we wanted to be a reaction against soulless rubbish.
I do an hour's yoga and go running every day. Then I see a picture of myself and I still look like a skinny, potbellied idiot - and I thought I had turned into this superhunk!
