Oasis are not just influenced by the Beatles they actually take stuff. Then they get praised.

When I'm making my music, I'm writing it, I'm producing it, I'm playing all the instruments, I'm performing. It's my own world where I do what I feel, and nobody tells me anything.

For me a watch is a really beautiful instrument. I don't so much care what time it is but I do love watches, and I love how they're constructed.

The thing I love about acting is that it's got nothing to do with me it's about bringing forth a director's vision. It's like a release. I'm glad it's come back into my life.

I'm sure at one point I will do some acting again, but it would have to be the right thing. I'm not going to do it just because people are offering it to me. Not for those box-office, bullshit, money, noncreative people. But I'll do it when it's right to do it.

Fly Away changed my life. There are certain songs that do. When I won the Grammy, I was in Paris. I sort of forgot about it.

I don't like to approach people that much. There's been times when I wanted to say something to somebody, in a quick moment, but didn't. Then you think, man, who knows?

It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.

I'm just as white as I am black, and I'm just as Russian Jew as I am West Indian.

We're beginning to play God and get into cloning. We give up quickly. Divorce is an easy option. So why not just create your own mate? Synthesize a human being. You get tired of it, turn it off and put it in the closet like the vacuum cleaner.
