My son ain’t going to be miserable because he’s going to be the child of a rock star, the end. – Noel Gallagher
Oasis were the last great, traditional rock-n’-roll band. We came along before the Internet so, if you wanted to see us, you had to be there. It makes me feel like a righteous old man. – Noel Gallagher
I’m a happy-go-lucky character. I’m not that miserable. But I can never let anyone into my world. – Noel Gallagher
You’ve just got to trust your instincts and realize that you can’t please all the people all the time. You’ve got to please yourself ultimately in the end. – Noel Gallagher

American sports are quite masculine. And football – although it’s still played by men all over the world – football compared to American football is quite feminine in its artistry. And there’s no padding. It’s America’s loss, though. – Noel Gallagher

You have to make the effort with children. You can’t have them thinking that I reckon I’m special, otherwise they’ll start thinking they’re special. I want them to feel normal for as long as possible because God knows they’ll reach an age when they’ll be told they’re not. – Noel Gallagher
Oasis can’t be summed up in one word. I could do a sentence: Boys from council estate made it very, very big. – Noel Gallagher

People say I seem very negative about new music – well, if somebody asks me what I think of Keane, I’ll tell ’em. I don’t like ’em. I’ll obviously take it a step too far and grossly insult the keyboard player’s mam or summat, but I’m afraid that’s just me. – Noel Gallagher
