A lot of the time there is a lot of melancholy in the lyrics.

A lot of times when we play in countries where English isn't the first language we get accused of being melancholy and miserable.

As soon as we played together, it was much better than anything else we'd ever heard.

At the end of the day, we're just trying to prevent each other from going mad.

I think people have difficulty judging and being self-critical and being honest about how good they think their music is.

It is worrying, but we feel as though our first album is a representation of our musical career of the first years up to this point.

I think hopefully we've got enough brain cells left to decide if our music is really worth something.

Coldplay are just four friends trying to make great music.

I don't think it's changed a great deal.
