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.'

More quotes by Noel Gallagher

It's not about being upset about the things you might have said or done yesterday, which is quite appropriate at the moment. It's about looking forward rather than looking back. I hate people who look back on the past or talk about what might have been.

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.

I sold my soul for the second time, cause' the man don't pay me.

You can have it all but how much do you want it?

The scumbags are taking over the streets. I don't know what David Cameron and Gordon Brown are going to do about it. It all goes back to the Thatcher (Margaret Thatcher) years. It sounds like a cliché but that's when the rot set in.

Rock n' roll to me is all about freedom of thought and to be whatever you want to be.

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.'

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

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.

You'll find people who rib you about their age are petrified about getting old. It doesn't bother me.

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.

I'm going to get drunk and insult as many musicians from the 80's as is humanly possible.
Noel Gallagher

Oasis can't be summed up in one word. I could do a sentence: Boys from council estate made it very, very big.
Noel Gallagher

Producers like to record all the drums first, then they do the bass, then all the guitars, so you're constantly moving from one song to another.

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

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.

I don't think we live in those times when great art comes out of great adversity.

I hate that Alex [James] and Damon [Albarn]. I hope they catch AIDS and die.

I'm equal part genius, equal part buffoon.

There's nothing good on the news. You're not telling me CNN is all cats in trees, are you? Nothing can be that good if Piers Morgan is in it, you know what I mean?
