Potent Quotables: Chris' Strange Strategy


"I have to brush my teeth before I go onstage otherwise I don't feel smart enough." --Chris Martin

It's not the pre-performance ritual itself (who doesn't value oral hygiene?), but the logic behind it that has us perplexed.

regarding Chris Martin not feeling smart enough prior to going onstage and oral hygiene. Consider what culture he came from. The UK uses the term smart to mean polished or put-together.

"Smart" basically means looking good in the UK. His quote makes total sense. Someone on this site needs to do their research.

that's exactly what i was about to say. when british people say "smart" and "brilliant" and stuff like that, they don't mean "intelligent" they mean "looking good". when you think of it that way that quote makes total sense.

We all love TV shows; and different people love different ones! that's why I find it very uneasy that I found my true lover on __Agelessmate.c om__ despite the flavor and even age gap thing! sometimes, you just feel so right with your someone special!

First of all that punk need's to go to prison for a long time and the hell with his career. They both need major counseling and anger management.If she refuses to help then her sponsors better be ready to cut her lose because she will have a major negative impact with the public especially the young girls.And if Nickelodeon allows him to be part of their award show then they to need to be aware of the negative impact that they will have on both young boys and girls plus parents.If both performers are allowed to be sponsored and to show up for award shows then they are telling are youth that they support doemstic violence and will reward people that partake in it.Our children don't have to be subjected to any kind of brute force or neglect so as parents we need to boycott what ever products and sponsors that are associated with them along with their entertainment, theme park, television shows,etc..
