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.

More quotes by Alex Kapranos
There are loads of bands I'd love to produce.
Alex Kapranos
I find American football quite ridiculous generally. I don't understand it. It looks like a lot of guys dressed up as spacemen shouting at each other.
Alex Kapranos
It's very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.
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
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
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
I want to change and try new ideas - allowing your sonic identity to evolve in your music and not being afraid of that. You see musicians hit upon something that works, and then go, Let's keep doing that for 10 years. And that idea kind of terrifies me a little bit. It becomes like a day job then.
Alex Kapranos
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
I want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance.
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
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
I'd rather eat a cow-pat on a bun than a bloody McDonalds.
Alex Kapranos
You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.
Alex Kapranos
I have always been fascinated by the concept of the villain and the hero being in one person.
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
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.'
Alex Kapranos
There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.
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.
Alex Kapranos
Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
Alex Kapranos
