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!

Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
Alex Kapranos
Image
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.

Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history.
Alex Kapranos
Image
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.
