More quotes by Alex Turner
A lot of peopletell me I'm a bit dreamy, but I like the idea of that. Of being somewhere else.

I saw that something changed in terms of the way I approach writing. I don't know. Before, everything was just sort of pieced together and more and more nowadays I'll have complete songs - chords, lyrics, a melody - and we'll apply to those songs what we feel is required. That has happened much more on Humbug album than on any of the others.

Alex Turner
There is always that one band that comes along when you are 14 or 15 years old that manages to hit you in just the right way and changes your whole perception of things.
Alex Turner
I took the batteries out my mysticism / And put them in my thinking cap
Alex Turner
There's that 15 quid we put on One Direction to win down the drain.
Alex Turner
Rock'n'roll will never go away completely because it's so fundamentally attractive.
