You can sometimes get your own feelings across more strongly if you pretend that you're singing it from someone else's angle. But it's always from me. It's just a new way of framing it.

When I'm 40, too old to be a rock star, I plan to go back to college to study classical music.

If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you'd want to prove yourself, you know what I mean?

Economically, unfair trade will benefit nobody in the long run, as poorer countries will be bled totally dry and will become unable to produce anything.

Everything in my life is a fragile decision that somebody else made.

Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive.

Being such a big band is never a problem but it can be distracting.
Chris Martin

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.
