More quotes by Alex Kapranos
I really want it to have an impact on the world. I want to be in a town on the other side of the world, and somebody walks up and says, 'That music you made in Glasgow, I listened to it every day, and it moved me.'
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
People's musical tastes are fickle, and music can be a fashion.
Alex Kapranos
There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.
Alex Kapranos
Men behave very oddly in the company of attractive women.
Alex Kapranos
Why play a chord when you can play one note?
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
Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
Alex Kapranos
I'd rather eat a cow-pat on a bun than a bloody McDonalds.
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
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
Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.
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
Boredom or being sick of what you've done before is a big part of being in a band.
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
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.
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
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 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 very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.
Alex Kapranos
