    • Chris Martin: (denying accusations Coldplay stole an idea from Joe Satriani for their song "Viva La Vida") When these things happen it's a coincidence and we're as surprised by it as anybody else. Oh, I know exactly where the song came from. It came in the middle of the night, on a piano. I just get embarrassed about having to talk about these things. I do feel a bit upset about it because I wrote the song. But, you know, these things happen. Whatever will be will be.
    • Chris Martin: People make a big fuss over names. Names of babies, names of albums, names of bands. There's nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that's what you want to call your baby. It's no stranger than Sarah. A name is just a noise, and if you like it, then f*** what everyone else says.
    • Chris Martin: I feel like you've got to write as many songs as you can between the ages of 28 and 33 because those are your last few years before you get a belly. I couldn't possibly write a hit record when I've got a beer belly, so we're just going to try to write as many songs as possible before that D-Day, or B-Day it should be - for Belly Day.
