Chris Martin’s 5 most popular quotes

  • To me, India’s always represented ‘everything’; it represents ‘all.’ Everything is here. You can stay here forever, and you’ll never feel like you’ve missed out on life.
  • 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.
  • 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’ve never been cool, and I don’t really care about being cool. It’s just an awful lot of time, and hair gel is wasted.
  • Coldplay fans are the best in the world. If you like Coldplay, then you’re obviously very intelligent, good-looking, and all-around brilliant.
