I'm a happy-go-lucky character. I'm not that miserable. But I can never let anyone into my world.
I despise hip hop. Loathe it. Eminem is an idiot and I find 50 Cent the most distasteful character I have ever crossed in my life. Eminem's new song about his kid - isn't it the most ridiculous piece of music you have ever heard in your life? I just don't like the dragging women around on dog leads and all that stuff
To be quite honest, John Lennon had questionable politics. There was a flip side. He was all peace and love, but he was a very violent character.
Oasis were the last great, traditional rock-n'-roll band. We came along before the Internet so, if you wanted to see us, you had to be there. It makes me feel like a righteous old man.
You can't really write a full album about your missus. She'll start getting the wrong idea and start thinking I like her.
There's no reason, ever, to be late. Or early.
Slade was never pretentious. It was just music to them. Pop, rock, soul....it was all the same to Slade. They wrote great songs. And, besides, I'd like to raid their wardrobe.
It's 'Let There Be Love,' which is another one that wasn't gonna go on the album,
It was a change to not get the token live act award for being able to play the guitar. Best album - nice one.
Some might say, we will find a brighter day.
Liam is a songwriting genius. His songs make me cry 'cause they are better than mine.
In business, you can have one massive success that earns $50 million overnight, and that's it. You're successful. End of story. But in the music business, you have to keep on doing it.
Chart positions are for people with manbags who get to work at 11 A.M. because they've been at a digital meeting.
All I ever wanted to do was make a record. Here's what you do: you pick up your guitar, you rip a few people's tunes off, you swap them round a bit, get your brother in the band, punch his head in every now and again, and it sells. I'm a lucky bastard. I'm probably the single most lucky man in the world -- apart from our Liam.
