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

We like annoying people. It's a Manchester thing. It's a trait. We just like pissing people off.

I don't have the genetic make-up of a frontman, but I'm learning how to do it.

There's no new direction. It's not more poppy or more rocky. They're just rock'n'roll tunes. I'll never change the music I write.

If I were in the Beatles, I'd be a good George Harrison.

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.

They should be shot. (on the Backstreet Boys)
