Will Champion English Musician Quotations

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.

So, if we're happy playing the songs we have written, for as long as we can, then that is sort of the proof that they're good songs as well.

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

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

Well, the stuff on the album we are a hundred per cent sure that we'll never get sick of because that was a very careful selection process.

The first time we all played as a band, I think it was in January 1998, in Jonny's bedroom.

We're also passionate about music and very critical about the music that we listen to.

Two weeks later, we played our first concert and had 100 people there. It was pretty cool.

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