Quote

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 go into Daunt Books in Marylebone every couple of weeks. My wife Sara demolishes books, but I only buy stuff occasionally. I like boys' things, spies and the Cold War.

As soon as people realize that the majority of people in this country take drugs then the better off we'll all be. It's not like a scandalous sensation or anything like that... drugs is like getting up and having a cup of tea in the morning.

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

It'll be nice to know that every gallon of petrol a Manchester United fan buys is going into our kitty.

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.

Do you ever look at the sky and think, I'm glad I'm alive? After I heard System of a Down, I thought, I'm actually alive to hear the shittiest band of all time. Which is quite something when you think about it. Of all the bands that have gone before and all the bands that'll be in the future, I was around when the worst was around.

You have to make the effort with children. You can't have them thinking that I reckon I'm special, otherwise they'll start thinking they're special. I want them to feel normal for as long as possible because God knows they'll reach an age when they'll be told they're not.

When I'm doing music and I'm on the road, I love it. But once I'm home, it's very difficult to go back out on the road.

I think the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson rested Howard Webb had a lot to do with the result.

I'm embarrassed when I see Brits abroad they have their tops off, wear flip flops, and shout at the top of their voices.

I'm a little bit of a control freak when it comes to my music, unfortunately.

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

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

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.

We're not arrogant, we just believe we're the best band in the world.

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.

It's the first time I'm going to be on my own this Christmas and I'm really looking forward to not having any cards or decorations up. So I'll be in London, sit on my couch, arms folded, curtains drawn, having a drink.
