I have my moments - usually twice every album - when I basically lose it.

I just want to make the best music of all time with my best friends.

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 never talk about my wife: we're both in public professions but we try to keep our private life private.
Chris Martin
Image
If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you'd want to prove yourself, you know what I mean?
Chris Martin

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.

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.

Record sales don't really mean anything. For us, the pressure is imagining some 15-year-old kid in Cincinnati who buys our album and doesn't feel like he wasted his pocket money.

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.
Chris Martin

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

Cool to me is following what you believe in.
Chris Martin
Image
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.
Chris Martin

I don't mind not being cool.
Chris Martin

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

Even when other people don’t expect a lot out of you,you have to take the initiative.

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.

So I have probably 1,200 little bits of paper with notes, which when the Ambien really starts to kick in, don't really make much sense. Say what you like about prescription drugs, but they do help when you're sequencing a record.

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.
