In a new interview with the Sydney Herald, the British rockers explained that it's impossible to please everyone so they try not to let negativity affect their career as a band or attitudes as individuals:

"You can very easily become infected by the minority negative opinion. I was talking to my dad about Manchester United - the most popular football team in the world - and when they show up at West Ham they get booed. I was thinking, 'Well, it's the same for us'."

"When everybody is singing Paradise at the moment it makes me feel so alive and happy. There comes a point where you just accept that whatever you do, someone will like or hate it, so it's extremely liberating."

Frontman Chris Martin added that he's incredibly proud of his 12-year run with the group and wouldn't change a thing:

"We are incredibly blessed that we are - 12 years in - allowed to make whatever we want to make. That's extraordinary. Even in the film world you can't do that. Only a few people can do that."
