I'm against people downloading music.

With every song that I write, I compare it to the Beatles. The thing is, they only got there before me. If I'd been born at the same time as John Lennon, I'd have been up there.

I remember the 70s constantly being winter in Manchester and the Irish community in Manchester closing ranks because of the IRA bombings in Birmingham and Manchester, and you know the bin-workers' strike, all wrapped up in it... They were violent times. Violence at home and violence at football matches.

There are periods where you think, What am I doing? or What am I doing it for? that's a more scary question. I've made s---loads of money, I've left my mark in music, why am I still doing this?, and it takes a while to answer that question.

Phil Collins sold five times as many records as I did. Does that make him nearly as influential as I am? Nope.

What's problematic about playing stadiums and driving around in private jets and drinking champagne at 8 o'clock in the morning? What's wrong with that? I haven't got a problem with that. I can't fathom why people would.

When we started off, we wanted the girls, the cocaine, the fur coats. It wasn't like it was an act it was almost like working-class people winning the pools. We went bananas.

I've always been into guitars. We want to put keyboards on, but keyboard players don't look cool onstage, they just keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard player, apart from Elton John.

In business, you can have one massive success that earns $50 million overnight, and that's it. You're successful. End of story. But in the music business, you have to keep on doing it.

I envy drummers. It must be the ultimate to sing and play drums at the same time. Phil Collins, no wonder he's so f... happy.
Noel Gallagher
Image
Even in the nineties, when it was mad and there were photographers all around the house, it never occurred to me to send someone else out to get cigarettes. It took me five minutes - went for a walk, gave a wave, went back inside.
Noel Gallagher

For the record, I Iike Jay-Z. That's my opinion.

Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
Noel Gallagher

Drugs is like getting up and having a cup of tea in the morning.
Noel Gallagher

My son ain't going to be miserable because he's going to be the child of a rock star, the end.
Noel Gallagher
Image
I did drugs for 18 years and I never got that bad as to say, 'You know what? I think the Kaiser Chiefs are brilliant.'
Noel Gallagher
Image
I've got my own style on the guitar, sure, and I play rhythm in a certain way, and I use certain inflections. People have said that to me, and I understand it.
Noel Gallagher
Image
As I get older, I don't aggressively pursue songs. All the great ones just appear.
Noel Gallagher
Image
I'm embarrassed when I see Brits abroad they have their tops off, wear flip flops, and shout at the top of their voices.
Noel Gallagher

I've never been asked to do a collaboration. I guess I just don't give off that come-and-get-me vibe. I wouldn't be adverse to doing one with Coldplay or U2 - anyone who sells 50 million albums.
