Chris Martin quotes - page 4
Wayne Coyne: Well, I really think that there's an authenticity and a truth in Chris in the way that he sings to the audience. And even though you'd have to think there has to be some difference between playing to a couple of hundred people when they started and playing to literally tens of thousands of people now, I still see that in him. That's why I like them so much, because he is the real deal. He's not faking it when he gets up there and that enthusiasm still effects him. So in that way, I think they're virtually unchanged. They haven't become these unapproachable mega rock stars.

Jay Z: We are good friends, but what I got to say has nothing to do with our friendship. I have been in the industry long enough to know when I'm in the presence of a genius... and Chris Martin is just that. In years to come, Britain will look back at him as a modern day Shakespeare, he is an incredible recording artist, an incredible songwriter, but where he really comes alive is performing live. If you get the chance to see Coldplay live, do it, you ain't gonna regret it.

There's stuff going on in the world right now, which you can't imagine why is this happening; it's crazy. I don't know what the answer is, but if you didn't have faith in the universe that somehow something great would arrive at the end, then we'd all give up, and that would be a waste of everyone's time.

"I always ring my dad when I want to quit, and he goes, [in a plummy voice] ‘Well I wouldn't give up yet, boy.' So I think, ‘All right then. I won't.' He'd be a brilliant boxing trainer. He sprays me down, rinses out my mouth and tells me to get back in the ring and sock that (Alan) McGee fella for six.” source.
