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!

More quotes by Alex Kapranos
You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.
Alex Kapranos
The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
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
The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?
Alex Kapranos
I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.
Alex Kapranos
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
It's fine to indulge yourself so long as you don't try and foist it on the rest of the world.
Alex Kapranos
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.
Alex Kapranos
Men behave very oddly in the company of attractive women.
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 want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance.
Alex Kapranos
Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history.
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
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
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
Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.
Alex Kapranos
Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
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 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.
