I absolutely loved being famous. It was all great, up until the point when it wasn't.

When I was 16 I'd watch 'The Godfather,' but I didn't think, 'Right, I'm going to go down the barber's and get some protection money off him.'

You'll find people who rib you about their age are petrified about getting old. It doesn't bother me.

People say I seem very negative about new music - well, if somebody asks me what I think of Keane, I'll tell 'em. I don't like 'em. I'll obviously take it a step too far and grossly insult the keyboard player's mam or summat, but I'm afraid that's just me.

It's a sad state when more people retweet than buy records.

I do all the work so it's only right that I should get the most money. Plus I am the most handsome.

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.
