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.

More quotes by 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
There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.
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
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
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
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
Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history.
Alex Kapranos
The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
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
Why play a chord when you can play one note?
Alex Kapranos
If success had come along when I was 17 it would either have killed me or sent me completely mad.
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
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
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
Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
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
It's fine to indulge yourself so long as you don't try and foist it on the rest of the world.
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
