I've always loved groups like U2 and Coldplay.
I would love to do something with Coldplay.
People discover you at festivals. They come to see Coldplay or whoever, and then wander over and catch your act. Festivals make a lot of sense to me.
I'm never happier than when I'm being creative, whether that's with Coldplay or other artists. I just love being in the studio.
Coldplay are just four friends trying to make great music.
Lauren Hill, I always have her solo CD nearby. I have Coldplay, Radiohead, just a mix
I don't hate Coldplay to be cool I genuinely hate Coldplay.
I want to make music as good as Radiohead, as good as Coldplay. I can make hip-hop as good as anybody.
Coldplay songs deliver an amorphous, irrefutable interpretation of how being in love is supposed to feel, and people find themselves wanting that feeling for real. They want men to adore them like Lloyd Dobler would, and they want women to think like Aimee Mann, and they expect all their arguments to sound like Sam Malone and Diane Chambers. They think everything will work out perfectly in the end (just like it did for Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones and Nick Hornby's Rob Fleming), and they don't stop believing because Journey's Steve Perry insists we should never do that.
Coldplay I really like a lot. David Grey, I'm obsessed with.
I'm a huge stadium rock fan, but I'm also a fan of everything from Massive Attack to Peter Gabriel, U2, the Police, Radiohead, and Coldplay.
I get more people approaching me about how good I was in 'Napoleon Dynamite' than being in Coldplay.
If you go and watch a Coldplay show, Chris Martin used to be a little timid onstage, but now the success that the band has had really gives him a lot of confidence to really own it. Also, I really admire the way that Ben Gibbard sings live, he just stays on pitch. That is something that I try to do. I don't have the greatest voice in the world, so I just try to think real hard while I'm singing and just do a good job.
