In America idea of freedom isn't actually about freedom. That's about power. The point of an artist is to find out what are the flavors that I must work with. Finding one's freedom is about surrendering to your helplessness.

You gotta wear the right trousers if you're gonna be a rock star.
Chris Martin
I don't drink, I don't take drugs, I don't smoke.
Chris Martin
I think that the fact that a relationship becomes public is a bit of a bummer. Because it can distract from the real reason why you're together, which is that you just like each other.
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.
Chris Martin
The goal is to try and make the perfect song. Which of course will never happen.
Chris Martin
Everyone asks me about being so worried or thinking about existence as if I'm the only person who can't understand why a tree grows the way it does or why a person is in power when they're not that great. These are questions everyone has.
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
As an artist, one doesn't know what is real. And so there's a search and a process of trying to locate something that feels or appears or somehow resonates with us on a deeper level. This is why art is such an interesting business to be in.
Chris Martin
Although it's painful at the time, most of the things that people have said about us negatively - some of them are true and you can work on them, and the ones that you don't agree with, you don't work on.
Chris Martin
Celebrity culture has gone crazy, and I think the reason is that real news is just not bearable, and it also seems impossible to change anything.
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
Everything that's happening to you, is what's suppose to be happening to you. So just relax.
Chris Martin
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.
Chris Martin
Rihanna is mysterious and fascinating
Chris Martin
I get more people approaching me about how good I was in 'Napoleon Dynamite' than being in Coldplay.
Chris Martin
I have my moments - usually twice every album - when I basically lose it.
Chris Martin
The word spirit comes from the Latin word for breath - spiritu - and the origin of the word spirituality has to do with breath and life force, the mysteries of the ancients and all this. The word is very suspect in much of the art world - the Western art world. Certainly, spirituality has become divorced from religious.
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
Life is beautiful in all it's colors, even the darker ones, they're here for a reason.
Chris Martin
I've had tinnitus for about ten years, and since I started protecting my ears it hasn't got any worse - touch wood.
Chris Martin
