If someone thinks I'm a dickhead, fine, listen to someone else's record, then. We're not a totalitarian regime no one's forced to listen to Coldplay. It's actually quite a compliment if you're something that people can stand against.

Chris Martin
Image
I'd get sent home from the first audition of So You Think You Can Dance. My dancing is sort of controlled spasms. I fully accept it might appear ridiculous. But it's passionate!

I get more people approaching me about how good I was in 'Napoleon Dynamite' than being in Coldplay.

I've had tinnitus for about 10 years, but since I started protecting my ears it hasn't got any worse. Looking after your ears is unfortunately something you don't think about until there's a problem. I wish I'd thought about it earlier.

Anyone who criticises me for talking about fair trade is a few pebbles short of a beach. Because everyone should care about it, just like everyone should care about the environment, because we all live here.
