I love the NFL. I don't have a team per se, but I'm into it.

I started off as many fathers do. I enjoyed the good bits, but I was wary of the responsibility. But now I love being a dad.

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

I'm against people downloading music.

I'm not interested in making money. It's just that with my talent, I'm cursed with it.

I'm not technically proficient enough to attempt all kinds of music.

I'm used to people being a mile away. That suits me. It's more nerve-wracking playing in front of people who are two feet away from me.

I've never felt like I had anything important to say.

It's a sad state when more people retweet than buy records.

Kids and family life are only as good as your wife, and she's amazing.

Making records should be fun.

Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better.

My son ain't going to be miserable because he's going to be the child of a rock star, the end.

My wife would say I'm not romantic at all, but I would say that I'm the ultimate romancer because I write about... life being brilliant.

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

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.

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

Rock stardom will die because nobody will make enough money any more to be rock stars.

Solo artists are generally totally insane. Elton John? Slightly eccentric. George Michael? He's mad as custard.

The charts are only relevant when you're top of them!
