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

There's enough music in the world. There are enough rock stars.

When I'm doing music and I'm on the road, I love it. But once I'm home, it's very difficult to go back out on the road.

It took me to about maybe 16, 17 or 18 or something to realise I was absolutely useless at everything else except for playing guitar and writing words

The Who always play 'I Can't Explain'; and we'll always play 'Wonderwall'. People ask us if we get bored of it. You can't get bored of 15,000 people shouting for 'Wonderwall'. That's better than drugs. You get a hard-on when you hear that.

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