Just came across this collection of Chris quotes on The Guardian website. Thought I'd share...

 

Series: Did I say that?

Previous | Next | Index

Did I say that?Chris Martin, musician, 31Compiled by John Hind The Observer, Sunday 14 December 2008

 

On Barack Obama's win

You remember when Take That came back? It feels like that for America (2008)

 

On Coldplay

For every song released we have 20 that are even worse (2008)

 

On appearing on a bill between grunge bands

It was like putting on a poodle show in the middle of a Texas rodeo (2001)

 

On marriage

I think I'd like to be married at least 12 times (2006)

 

On playing to 100,000 fans at Glastonbury

Afterwards I went back to my parents' house and got told off for not putting the milk away (2002)

 

On first singing in public at the age of 11

Two girls came up to me afterwards and said, 'We heard you singing', and then they both giggled and ran off, as if to say, 'It was shit.' And my whole life has been that day repeated ever since (2008)

 

On his vices

Chocolate... and bondage (2003)

 

On 'issues'

I judge our concerts on how reasonably priced the veggie burgers are. If I see that they're too expensive I can't have a good gig (2008)

 

On sleeping

I can't sleep, so I take a lot of sleeping pills. I don't really like saying it, but it takes your brain to a different place (2008)

 

On fantasies

I'd like to take Rachel Weisz to fly a kite on Hampstead Heath. That would be cosy (2002)

 

On his angry side

I had this woman the other day who for some reason was parked outside our house... and she drove me so crazy that I advised her to go to Weightwatchers (2006)

 

On taking singing lessons

I'm almost as good as Celine Dion now (2002)

 

On self-confidence

I do a lot of apologising but deep down I'm a very confident man. I'm confident in the fact that I make a lot of mistakes (2001)

 

On his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow

She's a big Hollywood star and I'm just the bloke from Coldplay (2002)

 

On getting an album out

It's like getting an erection: hard to do, but it releases everything (2005)

 

On Coldplay

We are the best band in the world, but I just wish my hair wasn't falling out (2002)
