Colin Farrell
- Anything that's different from your own realm of experience as a human being, whether it's driving a car or a boat, or using guns, anything that separates you from yourself and leads you more towards this character's existence is a big help. - I mean, we are tribal by nature, and sometimes success and material wealth can divide and separate - it's not a new philosophy I'm sharing - more than hardship, hardship tends to unify. - I think I'm still trying to find my feet as an actor. And I know it ain't brain surgery, but it confuses me and it comes between me and my sleep a lot. - I'm not painting myself as a down-home, modest guy. - Ah, I know what the important things are in life. I know that, just because I pretend to be someone else for two hours doesn't make me a better person than the next man. So, I know those things. Simple things. - But we're born as children and we look at the world with open eyes... And we don't judge and we don't betray. We're not jealous. We're not envious. We're not even weary, which is a danger also as kids. They have to learn a certain amount of awareness. - But I dare not think too far into the future on the risk that I'll miss the present. - You're scrutinized all through your life - you're scrutinized by your family, by yourself, by society, and your friends in a certain way, shape, or form.

Colin Farrell
Colin Farrell's Quotes: - Being Irish is very much a part of who I am. I take it everywhere with me. - It's not that I'm stupid. I just don't think sometimes. - I couldn't care less about who sees my bits... My friends asked how I could do scenes like that and not get excited, but it wasn't like that. My bits looked the size of a cashew nut! - I'll be in Los Angeles for two weeks and I'll have a laugh, get battered and have a buzz, but at the end of the day, I'll go home. It's just me earning a few more stories to tell everyone at home and all. - I'm just a true Irish boy at heart. - I'm in no hurry to get anywhere. I don't have any plans. I don't have a map. If you did in this business, you'd destroy yourself. - I don't go to the gym or practice yoga. And the closest thing I have to a nutritionist is the Carlsberg Beer Company. I just have the appetite of a pigeon. - Vampires have always held a very seductive kind of lore and have always been some variety of attractive, whether it's attractiveness that's born of just the physical attributes that they have - this kind of ethereal beauty or translucent pallor - or whether it is more to do with the way they carry themselves.

Sacha Baron Cohen
Sacha Baron Cohen's Quotes: - Dictators are ludicrous characters, and, you know, in my career and in my life, I've always enjoyed sort of inhabiting these ludicrous, larger-than-life characters that somehow exist in the real world. - I think in the moment. So when I'm in character, I'm in character, and I'm obviously thinking about what's going on around me, but it's easier to do stuff when you're in character. - I think pulling off a kind of fake documentary of me being a, you know, actual dictator would have been extremely difficult, if not impossible. - Normally in dangerous situations I have a getaway car. - For a number of years in England nobody had any idea what I looked like. - I don't know if I'm brave. - I enjoyed being anonymous. - I think if you come from a history of persecution you have to develop a sense of humour. - I've never really done any interviews as myself. - Jews have a tendency to become comedians. - To single out a particular group and say we can't make a joke about them is almost a form of prejudice and it's kind of patronizing.

Chris Martin
- We were concerned because of the stigma of being trailer homes or cheaper homes. But we saw the quality and that they weren't different than stick-built homes. We realized this was a better house than what we were building. - Economically, unfair trade will benefit nobody in the long run, as poorer countries will be bled totally dry and will become unable to produce anything. - Our Canadian fans are extraordinary — we love Canada. - We haven't won any awards for our songwriting for a while so this means an awful lot to us. - I definitely appreciate opportunities in life more than anything else after going through that. God has a way of getting your attention. I didn't know if I'd ever play basketball again. I'm very thankful. - How on earth could anybody stand in a field with these people and say that it's the right thing to do to dump their excess produce cheaply on a third world country? It's beyond me. But the truth is, the people responsible haven't talked to the farmers in the areas affected. - I can?t deny it 100 percent, but at this point, there is no information to support that (report). Obviously, our hybrid (engines) work pretty well with smaller vehicles. - We realized we were able to build the same house at the same price or less with less headaches. It makes it easier for us to build the houses.

- Everyone tells me it's very healthy. It's very depressing, but it's very healthy. We always have this bubbling level of vitriol. - I've just come to terms with the fact that there is a group of people out there who is interested in one side of things that I'm not really interested in. - Somewhere in the world Alan McGee is having a heart attack. He said we'd never make it. - I send my love to Liam. We're not in a fight with everyone - except George Bush. - Some people are into bondage... and some people are into crossdressing... and some people are into Coldplay. It's okay, I don't mind being a fetish. - The most extravagant thing I've ever bought is 95 tops all the same. - Country is a very sleeping beast within us. - Some of you probably hate us but I couldn't give a fuck [can we use that] because we're the best act in the world.

- We rely more on enthusiasm than actual skill. Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically and people will like it more. - Well, once we finish something, I can't really listen to it because all I hear are problems. - When you're on your fifth album, you are going to be judged against all your previous work and expectations. - You can never say you're big - I don't think you can ever take anything like that for granted. - You gotta wear the right trousers if you're gonna be a rock star. - You know, it's possible for two humans to be in a relationship without there needing to be some public reason for that relationship. - That's just about girls. It's weird that whatever else is on your mind, whether it's the downfall of global economics or terrible environmental troubles, the thing that always gets you most is when you fancy someone. - It seems surreal that we're going to play concerts again, because I haven't met anyone who likes us for two years.

Chris Martin
- Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive. - There comes a point where it doesn't matter how many zeroes are at the end of your bank account. - We aren't cool and never will be. - Well, I don't like the word 'rock star,' the two words, 'rock star.' Not even 'soft rock star. Not even limestone star. I don't like those words. - What makes us a bit nervous is, in this instant age, to release something that might take more than one listen. Where everything is instantly judged on YouTube or something! It's a bit like releasing a horse and cart on a racetrack. - You can sometimes get your own feelings across more strongly if you pretend that you're singing it from someone else's angle. But it's always from me. It's just a new way of framing it. - It's very hard to find things that rhyme with North American Free Trade Agreement. - I think it's safe to say that there is no greater place to play in the world than your great city.

- I think shareholders are the great evil of this modern world. - I think that the fact that a relationship becomes public is a bit of a bummer. Because it can distract from the real reason why you're together, which is that you just like each other. - I'm competitive with anyone who writes a good song - I don't care if it's a band or solo artist or whoever. - I've never been cool and I don't really care about being cool. It's just an awful lot of time and hair gel wasted. - It's more egalitarian on the Internet - anyone can put anything up. But in terms of the money it takes to allow a band to get good, there's less of it to invest. - Maybe it's because I'm English, but in terms of how people perceive us I only pick up on the negative side of it. - Music is split up now into little pockets. - 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.

- Looking after your ears is unfortunately something you don't think about until there's a problem. - Music comes from a place we don't know. - 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. - Some people misconstrue our band just to be a commercial venture. - The goal is to try and make the perfect song. Which of course will never happen. - There's a reason why people who've had bad relationships with their parents listen to angry stuff. - I know being on a major label is meant to be antiquated, but we're fine with it. - I personally really like getting a proper album with artwork and everything.

Chris Martin
- 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. - I never talk about my wife: we're both in public professions but we try to keep our private life private. - I think it's part of being English, particularly if you are middle-class - you're always looking to be reminded that you are no good and you are always actually embarrassed about being successful. - I think we're a band with a lot of history now so it's nice to come up with something that doesn't have any history at all. - I'm just a public-schoolboy. I've got a degree. I'm from a middle-class family in Devon. I've got no story. - I've had tinnitus for about ten years, and since I started protecting my ears it hasn't got any worse - touch wood. - It's difficult when you're successful, to admit that you need help.

- I don't mind not being cool. - Anything where we're the butt of the joke, no one tells us about it. - Before our albums are released I feel like we still own it, that we have control over our music. But once it's out there in the world it's no longer ours. - 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. - Even though the album is an endangered species, can we try and make a coherent and good one, even if it's like making a horse and cart at a Nascar conference? - I always dream about other musicians. And they're never interested in hanging out with us. It's like being at school and the bigger boys don't want to play with you! - 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. - I don't actually own a car.

Chris Martin
- 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. - I can't believe we've got away with becoming this huge band. And we still haven't done anything I think is that good yet. - I do an hour's yoga and go running every day. Then I see a picture of myself and I still look like a skinny, potbellied idiot - and I thought I had turned into this superhunk! - I get more people approaching me about how good I was in 'Napoleon Dynamite' than being in Coldplay. - More idiots should just shut their mouths. - Although it's painful at the time, most of the things that people have said about us negatively - some of them are true and you can work on them, and the ones that you don't agree with, you don't work on. - Anything that we think is incredible and beautiful and wonderful, we ascribe to something that we don't know what it is. - If a few companies were less greedy, the people at the bottom woud have a lot more.

Chris Martin
CHRIS MARTIN'S QUOTES: - Coldplay fans are the best in the world. If you like Coldplay then you're obviously very intelligent and good looking and all-around brilliant. - A band's only unique thing is its chemistry, especially if none of you are prodigious players or particularly handsome. The one thing you have is your uniqueness, so we hold on to that. - I don't speak particularly well. That's one of the consequences of being extremely ugly. - I do worry - a lot. - I don't drink, I don't take drugs, I don't smoke. - Anyone who criticises me for talking about fair trade is a few pebbles short of a beach. Because everyone should care about it, just like everyone should care about the environment, because we all live here. - Being such a big band is never a problem but it can be distracting. - Economically, unfair trade will benefit nobody in the long run, as poorer countries will be bled totally dry and will become unable to produce anything.
