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.'

Ambition is sneered at by some bands. It seems like a pretty good thing to me.
Alex Kapranos
I didn't grasp the basic principle of being a promoter, which was: Put on music but also generate an income. I was on the dole most of the time.
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
Being in a band didn't buy me my beans on toast!
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
