More quotes by Alex Kapranos
I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.
Alex Kapranos

Alex Kapranos
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
Ambition is sneered at by some bands. It seems like a pretty good thing to me.
Alex Kapranos
Cinema, which is influenced by every single part of life, is direct and reaches you immediately. And writing - the best writing is complex ideas communicated concisely. And music - if it's a good tune, make sure people can bloody hear it!
Alex Kapranos
The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?
Alex Kapranos
I think a lot of bands are creatively knackered when they come off tour.
Alex Kapranos
