Just because you sell lots of records it doesn't mean to say you're any good. Look at Phil Collins.

Slade was never pretentious. It was just music to them. Pop, rock, soul....it was all the same to Slade. They wrote great songs. And, besides, I'd like to raid their wardrobe.

Every album I've ever been involved in, on the day that it came out I believed in it.

Under Thatcher, who ruled us with an iron rod, great art was made. Amazing designers and musicians. Acid house was born. Very colourful and progressive.

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.

I'm against people downloading music.

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.

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 don't dislike rappers or hip-hop or people who like it. I went to the Def Jam tour in Manchester in the '80s when rap was inspirational. Public Enemy were awesome. But it's all about status and bling now, and it doesn't say anything to me.

There was a euphoria in the music and the way it was delivered, and, as the crowds started to get bigger, it fed off itself until it became less about the band and more about being with all those people, jumping up and down, drunk to the music.

We live a dying dream, If you know what I mean...

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.'

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

Next year I hope to get a stalker or two because I don't believe you've arrived until you get a stalker.

You've got to be strong enough for love. It's very easy to be cool and cynical. It's very difficult to just let yourself go and be in love. You've got to be strong enough for that.

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

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

I like being famous. It can be a bit of a pain but you get free food in restaurants and people send you clothes.

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.
