All i would like to say is that I’m rich and you’re not.
I don’t live to work; I work to live.
When I’m doing music and I’m on the road, I love it. But once I’m home, it’s very difficult to go back out on the road.
What’s problematic about playing stadiums and driving around in private jets and drinking champagne at 8 o’clock in the morning? What’s wrong with that? I haven’t got a problem with that. I can’t fathom why people would.
The thing about us is we’re honest. If we’re asked whether we take drugs, we say yes. I was brought up by my mom not to be a liar.
When we started off, we wanted the girls, the cocaine, the fur coats. It wasn’t like it was an act; it was almost like working-class people winning the pools. We went bananas.
Kylie Minogue is just a demonic little idiot as far as I’m concerned. She gets cool dance producers to work with her for some bizarre reason, I don’t know why. She doesn’t even have a good name. It’s a stupid name, Kylie, I just don’t get it.
My kids have got to work themselves around my life, not the other way. That’s how kids become brats, if you’re there staring at them all the time going, ‘Are you alright?’
I like being famous. It can be a bit of a pain but you get free food in restaurants and people send you clothes.
Every album I’ve ever been involved in, on the day that it came out I believed in it.
I don’t think we live in those times when great art comes out of great adversity.
For the record, I Iike Jay-Z. That’s my opinion.
I have to be myself, I can’t be no one else...
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.
There’s enough music in the world. There are enough rock stars.
Just because you sell lots of records it doesn’t mean to say you’re any good. Look at Phil Collins.
Traditionally speaking, the three biggest twats in any band are the singer, the keyboardist and the drummer. I don’t need to say anything else.
I’ve never understood musicians who don’t enjoy doing promotional interviews. I just can’t believe it. I always think, ‘Your life must have been so brilliant before you were in a band.’
I’m a massive fan of the Stones, and I don’t think anybody should deny them the right to carry on making music. I just wish they wouldn’t wear leggings.
The most annoying person on the BBC is Russell Brand, I’ve actually been close up to that boy. He smells like when you mix garlic with coffee and alcohol. I’m just saying when you get close to him, he could do with a bit of Sure For Men, he stinks.
I’ve got a fleet of cars and I’ve never had a driving license, ever.
