Americans are crazy. They have this fascination with throwing their shoes on stage. I've been to a lot of shows in me life, some good and some bad. But I was never moved to take off me shoes and throw it at the lead singer.
You can't put a load of rockstars up on a stage and expect to wipe out global poverty. That's ludicrous.
I don't dislike rappers or hip-hop or people who like it. I went to the Def Jam tour in Manchester in the '80s when rap was inspirational. Public Enemy were awesome. But it's all about status and bling now, and it doesn't say anything to me.
There's nothing good on the news. You're not telling me CNN is all cats in trees, are you? Nothing can be that good if Piers Morgan is in it, you know what I mean?
Women have nine months more experience than you do - nine months to prepare for being a parent.
Oasis can't be summed up in one word. I could do a sentence: Boys from council estate made it very, very big.
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.
Why is the rest of the world so overcrowded? Nobody lives in America! We're all squashed up on top of each other in London.
I'm not technically proficient enough to attempt all kinds of music.
You have to make the effort with children. You can't have them thinking that I reckon I'm special, otherwise they'll start thinking they're special. I want them to feel normal for as long as possible because God knows they'll reach an age when they'll be told they're not.
We shouldn't need riot police at schools.
These fledgling democracies in the Middle East, they're actually fighting for their freedom. And what are they rioting for in England? Leisurewear.
There's enough music in the world. There are enough rock stars.
Rock stardom will die because nobody will make enough money any more to be rock stars.
You can't be a mod and a rocker. You have to choose sides.
I go into Daunt Books in Marylebone every couple of weeks. My wife Sara demolishes books, but I only buy stuff occasionally. I like boys' things, spies and the Cold War.
I started off as many fathers do. I enjoyed the good bits, but I was wary of the responsibility. But now I love being a dad.
