I have 3 kids and a cat and a busy, noisy house. I get more time to relax when I'm working.

Look. I was a superhero in the '90s. I said so at the time. McCartney, Weller, Townshend, Richards, my first album's better than all their first albums. Even they'd admit that.

The thing about bands is everybody wants to be the next Oasis, and that doesn't mean slogging it out around the toilet [gigs], it means, "Give me the check, I need to go to the Levis shop and I need a 1960s Gibson."

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.

I don't mind One Direction. They're harmless, aren't they?

I've never felt like I had anything important to say.

I think the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson rested Howard Webb had a lot to do with the result.
