thinking watches protection
When I was 16 I'd watch 'The Godfather,' but I didn't think, 'Right, I'm going to go down the barber's and get some protection money off him.'
crazy oasis shoes
Americans are crazy. They have this fascination with throwing their shoes on stage. I've been to a lot of shows in me life, some good and some bad. But I was never moved to take off me shoes and throw it at the lead singer.
dream mirrors razors
All your dreams are made / When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade
thinking goes-on window
My favorite pastime is staring out the window. When I go on tour, I can spend hours and hours just staring out the window, thinking about nothing. I love all that.
people records retweet
It's a sad state when more people retweet than buy records.
player guitar want
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.
oasis world may
If you don't want to be the biggest band in the world, you may as well pack it in.
rap people hip-hop
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.
character flip sides
To be quite honest, John Lennon had questionable politics. There was a flip side. He was all peace and love, but he was a very violent character.
art iron house
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.
fall artist made
I don't fall into the category of tortured artist. But it's not made me more or less anything.
christmas cards arms
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.
people downloading-music
I'm against people downloading music.
parent nine months
Women have nine months more experience than you do - nine months to prepare for being a parent.
