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!
From Chris Martin
I don't speak particularly well. That's one of the consequences of being extremely ugly.
You know, it's possible for two humans to be in a relationship without there needing to be some public reason for that relationship.
I think that the fact that a relationship becomes public is a bit of a bummer. Because it can distract from the real reason why you're together, which is that you just like each other.
Some people misconstrue our band just to be a commercial venture.
Maybe it's because I'm English, but in terms of how people perceive us I only pick up on the negative side of it.
You can sometimes get your own feelings across more strongly if you pretend that you're singing it from someone else's angle. But it's always from me. It's just a new way of framing it.
I'm competitive with anyone who writes a good song - I don't care if it's a band or solo artist or whoever.
It's more egalitarian on the Internet - anyone can put anything up. But in terms of the money it takes to allow a band to get good, there's less of it to invest.
Music is split up now into little pockets.
