Before our albums are released I feel like we still own it, that we have control over our music. But once it's out there in the world it's no longer ours.

I could be walking down the street one minute and get a handshake and then get spat on the next. I'm never sure whether to wear gloves or a helmet.

I'm competitive with anyone who writes a good song - I don't care if it's a band or solo artist or whoever.

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.

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!

Some people are into bondage... and some people are into crossdressing.. . and some people are into Coldplay. It's okay, I don't mind being a fetish.

Men should always change diapers. It's a very rewarding experience. It's mentally cleansing. It's like washing dishes, but imagine if the dishes were your kids, so you really love the dishes.

When the lights go down, that's 30,000 peoples lives colliding. Everyone there working is working for that moment, everyone watching is watching for that moment. It's when you're all in agreement about what you're all doing so it's a wonderful feeling of togetherness and possibility.
