Rock 'n' roll is about music. Music. Music. Music. It's not about you, it's not about me, it's not about Oasis. It's about the tunes.

The thing about bands is everybody wants to be the next Oasis, and that doesn't mean slogging it out around the toilet [gigs], it means, "Give me the check, I need to go to the Levis shop and I need a 1960s Gibson."

I'll do one eventually as life's too short and none of us is getting any younger. I'd like to make one while I still look good and before I look like Phil Collins, which, eventually, I will.

We dragged English guitar music out of the gutter.

I wasn't put on this earth to amass money or personal wealth. I was put on this earth to play guitar and write songs.

I'm against people downloading music.

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