I have my moments - usually twice every album - when I basically lose it.
From Chris Martin
I think it's part of being English, particularly if you are middle-class - you're always looking to be reminded that you are no good and you are always actually embarrassed about being successful.
Before our albums are released I feel like we still own it, that we have control over our music. But once it's out there in the world it's no longer ours.
I think we're a band with a lot of history now so it's nice to come up with something that doesn't have any history at all.
I get more people approaching me about how good I was in 'Napoleon Dynamite' than being in Coldplay.
When you're on your fifth album, you are going to be judged against all your previous work and expectations.
Even though the album is an endangered species, can we try and make a coherent and good one, even if it's like making a horse and cart at a Nascar conference?
Looking after your ears is unfortunately something you don't think about until there's a problem.
I've had tinnitus for about ten years, and since I started protecting my ears it hasn't got any worse - touch wood.
Well, once we finish something, I can't really listen to it because all I hear are problems.
