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

Gone are the days when Virgin Records was owned by Richard Branson, a fan of music. Now they're all owned by some guy who bought it off some guy who bought it off some guy who wants a return on his investment.

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

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

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.

Traditionally speaking, the three biggest twats in any band are the singer, the keyboardist and the drummer. I don't need to say anything else.

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