lot of the time there is a lot of melancholy in the lyrics.
Will Champion
A lot of times when we play in countries where English isn't the first language we get accused of being melancholy and miserable.
Will Champion
As soon as we played together, it was much better than anything else we'd ever heard.
Will Champion
At the end of the day, we're just trying to prevent each other from going mad.
Will Champion
Coldplay are just four friends trying to make great music.
Will Champion
I can't do all that riddly diddly stuff. I'm not good enough. It's all about not playing.
Will Champion
I don't think it's changed a great deal.
Will Champion
I think hopefully we've got enough brain cells left to decide if our music is really worth something.
Will Champion
I think I'm the best non-playing drummer in the world. No one not-plays like me.
Will Champion
I think people have difficulty judging and being self-critical and being honest about how good they think their music is.
Will Champion
It is worrying, but we feel as though our first album is a representation of our musical career of the first years up to this point.
Will Champion
Optimism is the key.
Will Champion
So, if we're happy playing the songs we have written, for as long as we can, then that is sort of the proof that they're good songs as well.
Will Champion
Some of the really early songs we don't enjoy playing anymore because they haven't stood the test of time to us.
Will Champion
The first time we all played as a band, I think it was in January 1998, in Jonny's bedroom.
Will Champion
Two weeks later, we played our first concert and had 100 people there. It was pretty cool.
Will Champion
We started with 20 songs, enough for two albums basically, but we knew that there were no second chances-you don't get a second chance to do a debut album-so it was a very specific selection process.
Will Champion
We're also passionate about music and very critical about the music that we listen to.
Will Champion
We're very thankful for what we've got, so God forbid we start taking it for granted.
Will Champion
Well, the stuff on the album we are a hundred per cent sure that we'll never get sick of because that was a very careful selection process.
Will Champion
When you write something it has to hit the level that you accept as being good.
