More quotes by Chris Martin
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.

Chris Martin
Nothing matters except life and the love you make.
Chris Martin
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.
Chris Martin

Chris Martin
I never talk about my wife: we're both in public professions but we try to keep our private life private.
Chris Martin
I think it's part of being English, particularly if you are middle-class - you're always looking to be reminded that you are no good and you are always actually embarrassed about being successful.
Chris Martin
I don't speak particularly well. That's one of the consequences of being extremely ugly.
Chris Martin
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
Being such a big band is never a problem but it can be distracting.
Chris Martin
I don't actually own a car.
Chris Martin
I don't drink, I don't take drugs, I don't smoke.
Chris Martin
I have my moments - usually twice every album - when I basically lose it.
Chris Martin
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.
Chris Martin
I think in life everyone needs to be broken in some way.
