More quotes by Alex Kapranos
The Beatles were huge for me, ... I used to jump around the room to the red album, the one with all the early hits on it. It made you feel euphoric. It was a sensation I couldn't get from anything else, whether it was playing football, swimming or even seeing 'Star Wars.'

Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.
Alex Kapranos
Boredom or being sick of what you've done before is a big part of being in a band.
Alex Kapranos
I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.
Alex Kapranos
If success had come along when I was 17 it would either have killed me or sent me completely mad.

It's fine to indulge yourself so long as you don't try and foist it on the rest of the world.
Alex Kapranos

Alex Kapranos
No matter what you do, if you're trying to create something new, your environment has a massive impact on you.
Alex Kapranos
The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
Alex Kapranos
Boho to me is a first-year student who's just discovered the tie-dye shop.
Alex Kapranos
It doesn't matter how adventurous you want to be, you've still got to contain your identity.
Alex Kapranos
You can always have it better. If you try... [This is the right attitude:] Never to feel [completely] satisfied, always to want to do something better!
Alex Kapranos
Glasgow's not a media center. When you're there, when you're hanging about, you feel quite detached from musical movements or fashions or anything like that. You do feel quite alone, in a good way.
Alex Kapranos
You can't write for the cultural environment - if you do that, by the time it comes out, that cultural environment has passed. You have to be aiming for something that's original - that's the only way you can have any kind of impact.
Alex Kapranos
There's a character that I play onstage, and I can't let him loose in the supermarket when I'm buying my beans on toast.
Alex Kapranos
Music should be universal. My life perspective, my lifestyle - I'm not going to impose that on the people that listen to my music. That's kind of a perverse form of snobbery I like to reject.
