I don't like John Terry and I never have. He's got funny eyes and he's a cry baby. He's also a Cockney.

I do think my old fella wasn't much of a... I don't remember him ever being a 'dad' dad. He was too busy working. It was a hard life, man.

You can't be a mod and a rocker. You have to choose sides.

You don't have to be great to be successful. Look at Phil Collins.

None of us went to university, none of us went to college, none of us played in a different band before, none of us done anything. We were the last great band to come out of nowhere, on an indie label. We've sold 50 million records. That's still the benchmark. Until someone does what we've done, I'll always consider myself the last big songwriter

Every album I've ever been involved in, on the day that it came out I believed in it.

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.
