Even when other people don’t expect a lot out of you,you have to take the initiative.

Cool to me is following what you believe in.

I never talk about my wife: we're both in public professions but we try to keep our private life private.

So what Ghost Stories means to me is like you've got to open yourself up to love and if you really do, of course it will be painful at times, but it will be great at some point.

Record sales don't really mean anything. For us, the pressure is imagining some 15-year-old kid in Cincinnati who buys our album and doesn't feel like he wasted his pocket money.

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

What makes us a bit nervous is, in this instant age, to release something that might take more than one listen. Where everything is instantly judged on YouTube or something! It's a bit like releasing a horse and cart on a racetrack.
