All your dreams are made / When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade

I don't think we live in those times when great art comes out of great adversity.

If you don't want to be the biggest band in the world, you may as well pack it in.

As I get older, I don't aggressively pursue songs. All the great ones just appear.

You can't afford to think about what might have been. You just be aware of what is.

It is hard to be modest at times like these so I won't even try...you are all shite!

Rock n' roll to me is all about freedom of thought and to be whatever you want to be.

Every album I've ever been involved in, on the day that it came out I believed in it.

I absolutely loved being famous. It was all great, up until the point when it wasn't.

I'm not interested in making money. It's just that with my talent, I'm cursed with it.

Rock stardom will die because nobody will make enough money any more to be rock stars.

Some might say they don't believe in heaven Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell.

I don't much like 'Wonderwall,' but the effect that song has on people, I can't deny it.

If I had a gun, I'd shoot a hole into the sun and love would burn this city down for you.

I'm going to get drunk and insult as many musicians from the 80's as is humanly possible.

Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?

I think the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson rested Howard Webb had a lot to do with the result.

I have 3 kids and a cat and a busy, noisy house. I get more time to relax when I'm working.

Progression is going forwards. Going backwards is regression. Going sideways is just gression.

My son ain't going to be miserable because he's going to be the child of a rock star, the end.

I don't fall into the category of tortured artist. But it's not made me more or less anything.

I love the Bee Gees, but only the pre-disco stuff. From '64 to '69, I've got all their albums.

Women have nine months more experience than you do - nine months to prepare for being a parent.

We like annoying people. It's a Manchester thing. It's a trait. We just like pissing people off.

I'm a happy-go-lucky character. I'm not that miserable. But I can never let anyone into my world.

When you're in a band and there's five of you, you have to accommodate five people in every song.

When a lot of musicians change styles, their songwriting suffers because they want to be different.

I do all the work so it's only right that I should get the most money. Plus I am the most handsome.

Just because you sell lots of records it doesn't mean to say you're any good. Look at Phil Collins.

You'll find people who rib you about their age are petrified about getting old. It doesn't bother me.

Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better.

It'll be nice to know that every gallon of petrol a Manchester United fan buys is going into our kitty.

Fame is something that is bestowed upon you because of success. Success is something you have to chase.

I don't like John Terry and I never have. He's got funny eyes and he's a cry baby. He's also a Cockney.

You can't put a load of rockstars up on a stage and expect to wipe out global poverty. That's ludicrous.

Next year I hope to get a stalker or two because I don't believe you've arrived until you get a stalker.

College football today is one of the last great strongholds of genuine old-fashioned American hypocrisy.

Paul McCartney, one of the best songwriters of all time, has only produced manure for the past 25 years.

Anything that's of any use, famous people get hold of it and take it for themselves and it gets a bad rap.

When you're the cash cow that lays the golden goose egg, people are always going to cheer you on, whatever.

We need each other, We believe in one another, And I know we're gonna uncover, What's sleepin' in our soul...

Oasis can't be summed up in one word. I could do a sentence: Boys from council estate made it very, very big.

Phil Collins sold five times as many records as I did. Does that make him nearly as influential as I am? Nope.

Solo artists are generally totally insane. Elton John? Slightly eccentric. George Michael? He's mad as custard.

Tony Blair is a brilliant politician. Unfortunately, his legacy is entwined with George W. Bush because of Iraq.

Writing songs, that's what gets me going. Not the drugs or the sex or the rock'n'roll behaviour, it's the music.

I like being famous. It can be a bit of a pain but you get free food in restaurants and people send you clothes.

Chart positions are for people with manbags who get to work at 11 A.M. because they've been at a digital meeting.

We were able to provide housing to all who need it. We've had incredibly generous offers from alumni for housing.

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my Mum. I know I've got Irish blood because I wake up everyday with a hangover.
