The Wisdom of Chris Martin, part 4
(Like Indiana Jones, three just wasn’t enough, and we’re back with a fourth installment of Chris’s incomparable proverbs and parables. Except this doesn’t involve George Lucas. Which means it doesn’t have to have a badly-written scene in a 1950s diner.)
On Barack Obama: You remember when Take That came back? It feels like that for America.
On Coldplay: Like millions of people in the world, I can’t listen to Coldplay.
For every song released we have 20 that are even worse.
We are the best band in the world, but I just wish my hair wasn’t falling out.
On Radiohead: I bought three copies [of In Rainbows], and paid 10 pounds each, but I never got them. The download thing didn’t work… I wound up buying them on vinyl. But I don’t mind. I owe Radiohead a bit more than 30 pounds, let’s face it. We owe them a career, really.
On Fatherhood: Men should always change diapers. It’s a very rewarding experience. It’s mentally cleansing. It’s like washing dishes, but imagine if the dishes were your kids, so you really love the dishes.
There’s nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that’s what you want to call your baby. It’s no stranger than Sarah.
On Tattoos: I recommend getting a tattoo whether you are 70 or 12 – actually, maybe not 12, I think that might be a bit too young.
On Headlining Glastonbury: Afterwards I went back to my parents’ house and got told off for not putting the milk away.
On Gwyneth: She’s a big Hollywood star and I’m just the bloke from Coldplay.
