Why play a chord when you can play one note?
Alex Kapranos
There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.
Alex Kapranos
It doesn't matter how adventurous you want to be, you've still got to contain your identity.
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
If I was a fan of someone as a teenager, then it's OK for me to feel completely in awe when I meet them.
Alex Kapranos
Men behave very oddly in the company of attractive women.
Alex Kapranos
There are loads of bands I'd love to produce.

Alex Kapranos
I think a lot of bands are creatively knackered when they come off tour.
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
For me upward social mobility is possible through talent and hard work and is a glowing endorsement of the benefits of living in a modern capitalist society. It's not so much evidence of a meritocracy, as evidence of healthy nepotism. Nepotism is at the core of a good group dynamic. A good group dynamic is at the core of rock'n'roll.
Alex Kapranos
You really only understand whether a song's good or not when you properly play it out in public for the first time.
Alex Kapranos
The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?
Alex Kapranos
I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.
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
People's musical tastes are fickle, and music can be a fashion.
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
