More quotes by 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
There are loads of bands I'd love to produce.
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
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
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 have always been fascinated by the concept of the villain and the hero being in one person.
Alex Kapranos
I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.
Alex Kapranos
I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.
Alex Kapranos
You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.
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
It doesn't matter how adventurous you want to be, you've still got to contain your identity.
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
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
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
Boredom or being sick of what you've done before is a big part of being in a band.
Alex Kapranos
Men behave very oddly in the company of attractive women.
Alex Kapranos
Boho to me is a first-year student who's just discovered the tie-dye shop.
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 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
I want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance.
