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
Why play a chord when you can play one note?
Alex Kapranos
I have always been fascinated by the concept of the villain and the hero being in one person.
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

Alex Kapranos
Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.
Alex Kapranos
I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.
Alex Kapranos
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
Men behave very oddly in the company of attractive women.
Alex Kapranos
Anyone can play an instrument if you show them how to move their limbs, lips or fingers the right way. It's irrelevant. What is relevant is personality, energy, creativity and disturbing sense of humour.
Alex Kapranos
If success had come along when I was 17 it would either have killed me or sent me completely mad.
Alex Kapranos
Boredom or being sick of what you've done before is a big part of being in a band.
Alex Kapranos
A lot of bands have the enthusiasm kicked out of them by playing really dreary pub venues that just churn bands through.
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
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
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
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
Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history.
Alex Kapranos
There are loads of bands I'd love to produce.
Alex Kapranos
Being in a band didn't buy me my beans on toast!
Alex Kapranos
The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?
Alex Kapranos
