Chris Martin looks like a geography teacher.

You've seen one of the our gigs you've seen 'em all. But if you're into the music, you'll know that we played better the night before or we can play better.

I definitely prefer to be in a band. There's too many solo people, and bands are suffering. There's too many great bands that have split up because somebody's got an ego, and then he goes solo.

I was walking along and this chair came flying past me, and another, and another, and I thought, man, is this gonna be a good night.

I find words really hard.

I'm into the girls fancying me and stuff, mad for it.

That's what you join a band for, is to make music. Not to sit around and have five years off. We're not getting any younger.
