3. Chirs: Christine Brampton is waiting on the phone are you going to take that call?

Caller: I was wondering with you guys being famous and successful now, how do you manage to stay humble?

Jonny: We do do that.

Chris: Thanks Christine Brampton...from Brampton sorry

Jonny: What a coincidence

 

4. Interviewer: Oh, I see then people would assume you were aloof?

Chris: A loof? What’s a loof? Ooh, aloof, I see I thought you meant like a loof of bread.

 

5. Chris: "Eminem is amazing, brilliant. I knew him when he was first starting out. He used to say to me, 'D'ya think I'll make it, Chris?' I used to say, 'Yeah, you'll make it, Em!' But he was always forgetting his name - he'd always have to remind himself by asking 'My name is...? My name is....?' The poor fella."

 

6. Interviewer: If you were going to have a secret alter identity, what would it be?

9. Chris: So i know the better frontman than me would say something like 'sing you fuckers' or whatever they say in the world of rock n' roll, but eh, this is the bit of one of our songs where if you want to sing with us, we'd be incredibly pleased with that.

 

10. So we had this friend, Will, who was always around, like, talking about girls. And we thought, ‘well he’s sexy, and he’s brilliant at music, so he must be able to pick up the drums soon enough'.

Guy: Ribena.

 

15. Chris: "Well this record really is about all the money we’ve made and all the new cars we’ve bought – it’s a blingin' album, you know? We’ve all got massive silver medallions these days. I’ve got 12 people that follow me around with gold teeth"

 

16. Chris: “I went to the set of The X-Files once, and I was expecting to see an episode of The X-Files in front of my eyes, like Shakespeare or something. And it wasn't-it was the same thing 18 times! Then I upset one of the cast members, just because I was a little bit bored and there were no cookies left."

 

17. Chris: "Yes, we have about 48 songs. And most of them are really bad. The lyrics are bad, the melodies are bad and all the parts are bad. The titles are bad. I can't tell you what they are! We have one song and it's called ‘There's Only One Fish in the Sea And That's Me.’ And that's shit.''

 

18. Chris: "I don’t care if people think I have sex with badgers.”

27. Interviewer: "Now you guys are nice..."

Chris: "Fuck off"

 

28. Chris: "We were in the same hallway at campus, guitarist Jonny and I. We'd come to London to be great students. It hit me one of the first nights we were sitting there. "Oh my god, this is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I finally found him," I thought. I'm talking about music now. There's nothing sexual about it, this. But you knew that..."

 

29. Screaming female fan: “I love you!”

Chris: “See you at the hotel.”

 

30. Chris: “So this is our last song…that’s nonsense that’s not our last song at all. We’re going to go off and wait for you to applaud so we get big egos, and then we’ll come back on.”

 

31. Chris: "We have two big buses – one for everybody else and one for me...with a gym on it…”

Right I'm not certain that this is where it's from, but from what I can gather it's from this interview...

 

http://www.muchmusic.com/insidemuch/stuff/no_work_just_coldplay.asp

 

It's only a part of the interview and it doesn't have the quote in but it's still quite funny and i think this is where it's from.

 

kate x.

Can i post a few more quotes? or am i posting a bit much now?

No dear. It's never enough... :lol:

Flippin HILARIOUS.

ok thanks :)

 

Interviewer: We're in a secret location, we can't say where we are.

Chris: Really?

Interview: Yes, because then hundreds of thousads of fans would barge into the hotel room, so...

Chris: So they would come barging into the room 1109 the Sheraton Chicago?

 

 

Interviewer: Did you think he was serious or were you just kind of like he's just saying that? (about Elton John)

Chris: We knew he was serious because we got the bill. 12,000 dollars per minute... so we played it twice as fast.

 

Interviewer: So were you a fan of Elton's?

Chris: Nah, he's terrible, what's he ever done?

 

Interviewer: It's (X&Y) under lock and key.

Jon: Yeah, I don't even have a copy of it.

Chris: You don't?

Jon: Yeah.

Chris: Well I think you should listen to it, you may like some of it.

 

Interviewer: Chris do you have one? (an iPod)

Chris: Actually I carry around a gramaphone.

 

Interviewer: I heard that you guys would do things together, like play basketball and stuff like that.

Chris: Feildtrips.

(Laughs)

Chris: Feildtrips yeah. And we would walk in pairs.

 

Chris: I would imagine your role in the band as being (referring to Jonny)... if you were to imagine looking out onto a beach and you see one idiot on a jet-ski, that's me... the one doing all those somersaults and nonsense on a jet-ski... I hate jet-skis. Then in the very distance you see this massive oil tanker and that's Jonny, that's Jonny, solid.

Jonny: The salt of the world.

Chris: Okay, in the very distance you see this massive rice tanker.

Interviewer: What about Will and Guy?

Chris: Guy's a little yacht just behind the jet-ski, and Will's an oil rig so far out you can't possibly see it... but you know he's there. That's a terrible analogy.

Jonny: I thought Guy's was quite good.

Chirs: A yacht! Just behind the jet-ski... I hate yachts... I hate yachts and jet-skis but I love tankers and rigs.

 

(On the crazy frog)...Chris: 'He's kind of arrogant, the success has gone to his head."

 

Chris: "This is our last song....I'm being serious" (crowd boos) "Don't boo, it's not a fucking pantomime!"

 

Chris: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Jonny Buckland, my best friend, and the best guitarist in the world...except maybe Slash".

 

Interviewer: "Are Coldplay the biggest band in the world now?"

Chris: "Weight wise, very possibly, yes. I think it's between us and the Deftones. Why else do you think we wear black all the time?"

 

Interviewer: "Do you admire Barry Manilow?"

Chris: "Basically he's what drives me.."

 

Will: We're actually gojng to some parts of Eastern Europe we've never been to before, we're gonna do Estonia, Latvia, Finland...Russia, which will be amazing, we've never done Russia yet...

Chris: And then we're gonna do a nine month residency at Euro Disney........ no we're not, we're just gonna do France

 

Interviewer: "Chris says when you guys are arguing, it never progresses to fist fights because there are two guys in the band he’s sure would pound him. When I asked him which bandmember he could handle in a fight, he said you."

Guy:"Really? In a fistfight? Well, I guess I’ll have to go and batter him, won’t I?"

 

Interviewer: "You have a very distinctive guitar sound. Where does it come from?"

Jonny: "I’m just trying to make my guitar sound like my heroes...Johnny Marr, Kevin Shields, Keith Richards, and George Harrison, of course. And it just comes out wrong. And that wrong sound ends up being me."

 

Interviewer: "What would it take for you to become as famous as your singer Chris?"

Jonny:"A public drug habit. Or some kind of crime spree."

 

Chris: "..and Guy and Will were having a cigarette outside...each. They don't share anymore, coz we've got more money."

 

Chris: "...and the lovely boy here ignoring me is Jonny. Jonny, tell the camera what a lovely boy you are, show them that face..."

 

Chris: "In a sex-off with Blue we'd totally fucking trash them!"
