Why play a chord when you can play one note?
Alex Kapranos
Image
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.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I really want it to have an impact on the world. I want to be in a town on the other side of the world, and somebody walks up and says, 'That music you made in Glasgow, I listened to it every day, and it moved me.'
Alex Kapranos
Image
I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.
Alex Kapranos
Image
The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Maybe 'Can't Stop Feeling' and 'Turn It On' we'll just release as singles. It's a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own.
Alex Kapranos
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
No matter what you do, if you're trying to create something new, your environment has a massive impact on you.
Alex Kapranos
Image
If success had come along when I was 17 it would either have killed me or sent me completely mad.
Alex Kapranos
Image
There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.
Alex Kapranos
Image
It's very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Although they might not admit it, I think girls are very aware of the impact that they're having. But they never feel it themselves, and it's impossible to explain. It's like trying to tell a blind person what yellow is.
Alex Kapranos
Image
It's easy to be lazy when there's food lying around backstage or there's a fast-food joint a couple blocks away. But if you walk a little further, ask around a bit, of course there are exciting things to discover.
Alex Kapranos
Image
A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it, and I'm probably going to write about it in a different way.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I think a lot of bands are creatively knackered when they come off tour.
Alex Kapranos
Image
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.

Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I have always been fascinated by the concept of the villain and the hero being in one person.
