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

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

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

If everyone in the music business were brutally honest about what their intentions were then you could sort things out, but it's all smoke and mirrors.

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.

There's enough music in the world. There are enough rock stars.

I know there's bands that might write something that sounds like The Smiths, and they'll go, 'Oh, it sounds like The Smiths, we've got to make it sound not like The Smiths.'
