Rock stardom will die because nobody will make enough money any more to be rock stars.

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

No matter how much you sit there twiddling, going, 'We're all doomed', at the end of the day people will always want to hear you play Creep. Get over it.

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

I hate that Alex [James] and Damon [Albarn]. I hope they catch AIDS and die.

Producers like to record all the drums first, then they do the bass, then all the guitars, so you're constantly moving from one song to another.

Paul McCartney, one of the best songwriters of all time, has only produced manure for the past 25 years.
