I'd love to see the world without liquor for a week.

Getting a grey beard's not cool.

I was skint, and I had to move back to my mum and dad's house, back into the room I shared with my brother when I was a kid. I kept getting people on the streets telling me that they loved me; it didn't mean anything to me because I was still borrowing tenners off my pensioner father to go and get some chicken.

They've had a hard life, the Oasis brothers. They've done really well to be semi-normal. It's always sad when your dirty linen is brought out in public.

I've always said prayers.

My sister bought me the Koran in 1990. I always thought the stories in it were magical.

I used to be one of those kids who couldn't keep my mouth shut.

Stardom's transitory. Nothing really changes except people's attitudes.

I went to a friend's 40th in Manchester, and there was a karaoke machine, and no one was having a go. My mate said, 'No one's singing because you're in the room.' I said, 'Who am I, Frank Sinatra?' They made me sing flipping 'My Star' to a backing track that sounded like '80s Roxy Music. It was pretty embarrassing, but I did it.

I love karaoke - I usually do Blondie's 'Heart Of Glass,' or 'Try A Little Tenderness.'

It's a horrible name, Coldplay. It doesn't conjure up any positive thoughts.

I like a lot of that Chicago stuff, house music.

I don't actually personally get off on guitar music.

I thought it would be more interesting to make a musical autobiography than an actual autobiography.

I am gentle. I think nearly everyone who makes music is sensitive - I don't care how hard they pretend they are.

We're all anti-royalist, anti-patriarch. Cos it's 1989. Time to get real.

I feel like the Ryan Giggs of music.

People tend to settle for the fiver rather than going for the pot of gold.

I've never chatted up a girl in me life. I've always let girls come to me. I've never approached a girl to chat her up.

I spent the summer of '88 indoors, writing 'Shoot You Down,' 'Bye Bye Badman,' and 'Don't Stop.'

We need to ban all air-freighted food. Carrots from Holland. Potatoes from Egypt. It's got to stop.

With the Stone Roses, I always thought we'd be successful because we had some great songs.

We wrote 'Stellify' for Rihanna, but as we got to the end of writing it, I thought, 'You know what? I'm gonna keep this for myself. We'll give her another one.' She'd have probably sung it better, but it is too good for me not to do it.

I can't think of anyone who's reformed for art's sake. That's why the Roses will never reform.
