Nick Hodgson quotes

Someone suggested the Kaiser Chiefs while we were looking for a band name. We had so many ideas ourselves, at least one of us had said no to every idea except Kaiser Chiefs.

We only came up with the Kaiser Chiefs about a year and a half ago when we scrapped every song we'd ever done. It was a complete change of direction, songs, outlook and everything.

There's not much radio in the UK, really. In America, you're in a car, factory, wherever, and you turn the dial on the radio, and can hear about a million stations. Hardly any in England.

I'm a Syd Barrett fan, and early Pink Floyd, and then about two things from the rest of their career. I don't like them, really. I mean, I like the psychedelic stuff. I listen to the first albums, and even on those, they go off and off and off. Songs that are 20 minutes long. I don't like long songs.

I said Revolver is my favorite The Beatles album, but only because it came to my head and it's a brilliant one. But they're all pretty brilliant. There's variations, but they're all brilliant, and it just depends on if they're very brilliant, or just a bit brilliant. It changes.

I definitely like being in bands with other women because it's just, I don't know, it's just better.

We get things wrong before we get things right.

Don't take no as a full stop, treat it like a comma.

If you become a star known for one thing, that becomes your thing, and you don't want that, on some DNA level.

I have more faith now than I ever had before.

The more seriously you take yourself, the less others will.

I have very strict rules in my head that seem to me to be the way things should sound.

I grew up playing classical guitar, so everything I learned was rooted in technique, form, presentation.
