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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
