Phil Collins sold five times as many records as I did. Does that make him nearly as influential as I am? Nope.
None of us went to university, none of us went to college, none of us played in a different band before, none of us done anything. We were the last great band to come out of nowhere, on an indie label. We've sold 50 million records. That's still the benchmark. Until someone does what we've done, I'll always consider myself the last big songwriter
It was a change to not get the token live act award for being able to play the guitar. Best album - nice one.
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.

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.

You can't really write a full album about your missus. She'll start getting the wrong idea and start thinking I like her.

The most annoying person on the BBC is Russell Brand, I've actually been close up to that boy. He smells like when you mix garlic with coffee and alcohol. I'm just saying when you get close to him, he could do with a bit of Sure For Men, he stinks.
I've got a fleet of cars and I've never had a driving license, ever.
