[I doubt] one of these guys from the G8 is on a quick 15-minute break at Gleneagles and sees Annie Lennox singing 'Sweet Dreams' and thinks ... 'She might have a point there, you know?' |
A lot of things are said in dressing rooms at 4 o'clock in the morning when you're drunk. We're talking about doing some stuff with them, but I don't know that anything will come of that. |
All I ever wanted to do was make a record. Here's what you do: you pick up your guitar, you rip a few people's tunes off, you swap them round a bit, get your brother in the band, punch his head in every now and again, and it sells. I'm a lucky bastard. I'm probably the single most lucky man in the world -- apart from our Liam. |
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. |

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 equal part genius, equal part buffoon. |
I'm not like John Lennon, who thought he was the great Almighty. I just think I'm John Lennon. |
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. |
If I ever get to go to the moon, I'll probably just stand on the moon and go 'Hmmm, yeah...fair enough...gotta go home now. |
If I were in the Beatles, I'd be a good George Harrison. |
It was a change to not get the token live act award for being able to play the guitar. Best album - nice one. |
