Guy Berryman Quotations

At school, there was an annual school disco and I'd be standing in my bedroom wondering what to wear for hours on end. Eventually I'd arrive at a decision that was just the most ridiculous costume you could have ever devised - I think it was probably knitted Christmas jumpers on top of buttoned-up white shirts.

I'm never happier than when I'm being creative, whether that's with Coldplay or other artists. I just love being in the studio.

Just keep it simple. When you over-think what you're wearing, that's when wardrobe malfunctions tend to happen.

I only shoot on film. I like the quality, the grain and the imperfections. It offers me something much more rewarding than any digital camera can give me. I believe the extra expense is worth it.

I don't concentrate on technical things like where a microphone is placed and things like that. As a producer, I try to keep the initial feeling from when I first heard a song and make sure we do what were initially aiming for.

Magne Furuholmen is a very dear friend of mine. A-ha are a classic pop band and they've got some brilliant songs. I'd say 'The Living Daylights' was one of my favourite Bond tunes: regardless of it being a Bond song, it stands alone as a great piece of music.

Chris has an amazing ability to get the crowd going and get everyone singing along, ... He tries to make them feel very much that they're contributing to the atmosphere of the place. I think if you can make people feel involved like that, then it makes for a better experience for the audience and for us on stage.

On 'X&Y,' we're utilizing the band a bit more, ... In the same way that when you listen to Pink Floyd and the Beatles, just for example, it's all about the band. It's a development and a natural organic growth from where we left off.

I think I've kind of got the best position. I get all the benefits of being in one of the biggest bands in the world and have a certain anonymity as well. So I'm perfectly happy with the situation.

That was an amazing night. I remember it very well,

White Shadows' is one of my favorite songs on the record, ... It's just really strong rhythmically. And the fact that it's going down so well with crowds is very cool.

I've never been away from home for this length of time before, ... By the time I get home, I will have been on the road for nine weeks. When it's over, I think I'm going to have a good few weeks off just sitting on a beach somewhere.

Speed of Sound' demonstrates one side of the album. So we thought we should do a different style of song, a ballad, just to show there are other aspects to the album.

At first, we spent a lot of time treading water and not really knowing which songs we were doing and which way we were going, ... And then we locked into the right groove. Everything really came together in the last three months. It just took a long time to find our feet, so to speak.

It was pretty weird. And it's pretty amazing that no one died in that crash. It's not the best way to start a tour,

I'll take a run around the venue and right past all the fans, and nobody realizes I'm running past them,

We have very similar brains. But they come out in different personalities.

I'm in love with a lot of things. Some of those things love me back. And some of them don't--and one of them is Radiohead.

The first single is the hardest to pick because basically you're trying to express the whole album through one song,
