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
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
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
People's musical tastes are fickle, and music can be a fashion.
Alex Kapranos
I'd rather eat a cow-pat on a bun than a bloody McDonalds.
Alex Kapranos
Just because you can leap off a drum kit doing a scissors kick while hitting a chord, people expect you to be an extrovert socially. But I'm not always comfortable with the idea of small talk at a party.
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 internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?
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
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
Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
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
It doesn't matter how adventurous you want to be, you've still got to contain your identity.
Alex Kapranos
There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.
Alex Kapranos
You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.
Alex Kapranos
Of course, there's a certain type of person who feels that anything which becomes mainstream has to be rejected immediately. And that's part of the indie-alternative snobbery and hierarchy and elitism.
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
It's very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.
Alex Kapranos
Cinema, which is influenced by every single part of life, is direct and reaches you immediately. And writing - the best writing is complex ideas communicated concisely. And music - if it's a good tune, make sure people can bloody hear it!
Alex Kapranos
If success had come along when I was 17 it would either have killed me or sent me completely mad.
Alex Kapranos
A lot of bands have the enthusiasm kicked out of them by playing really dreary pub venues that just churn bands through.
