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

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

I've got a fleet of cars and I've never had a driving license, ever.

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

There was a euphoria in the music and the way it was delivered, and, as the crowds started to get bigger, it fed off itself until it became less about the band and more about being with all those people, jumping up and down, drunk to the music.

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.

With every song that I write, I compare it to the Beatles. The thing is, they only got there before me. If I'd been born at the same time as John Lennon, I'd have been up there.
