I love the satisfaction of living in a world on a Wednesday where a song didn't exist that you're going to create on a Thursday that's going to change somebody's life, possibly, you're creating that from nothing.

I don't much like 'Wonderwall,' but the effect that song has on people, I can't deny it.

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

Why is the rest of the world so overcrowded? Nobody lives in America! We're all squashed up on top of each other in London.

If I had a gun, I'd shoot a hole into the sun and love would burn this city down for you.

You can't put a load of rockstars up on a stage and expect to wipe out global poverty. That's ludicrous.

Writing songs, that's what gets me going. Not the drugs or the sex or the rock'n'roll behaviour, it's the music.
