I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty.
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.

A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it, and I'm probably going to write about it in a different way.

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.

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
Image
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 fine to indulge yourself so long as you don't try and foist it on the rest of the world.

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

Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.

You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.
