More quotes by Alex Kapranos
The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
Alex Kapranos
I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.
Alex Kapranos
It's very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.
Alex Kapranos
Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
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
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
There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.
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
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
The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?
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
People's musical tastes are fickle, and music can be a fashion.
Alex Kapranos
Men behave very oddly in the company of attractive women.
Alex Kapranos
It doesn't matter how adventurous you want to be, you've still got to contain your identity.
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
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
Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.
Alex Kapranos
There are loads of bands I'd love to produce.
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
I think a lot of bands are creatively knackered when they come off tour.
