in silence we still talk...

These were said by some of my favorite (famous) people. This page is filled with quotes that i've read on the internet, in magazines, from somewhere i dont know. It makes me smile every time i read them...so, Enjoy.

OASIS

  • "Someone was playing a joke when they made me. You know, 'Let's make this guy a writer and a guitar player, but let's make him write with his left hand but play with his right, and let's have him born in the middle of May and give him a Christmas name like Noel, and let's make him a dodgey, schizophrenic, two-faced Gemini.' Cheers!" -noel gallagher

  • The boys kept a running record of their childhood by scrawling on their wall, later described by Tommy (their father) as their "wonderwall." "Bits of songs, poems, favourite bands, football teams. In one corner Noel wrote 'I Love Diane Jones' and underneath, in the same writing, 'Liam is a puff.' They'd fight terribly about who had the most writing space."

  • Liam was also quite timid around the ladies according to his dad. "Up until he was 14, he used to say, 'I hate girls, they do my head in.' Noel was the champ with girls. He had a good few girlfriends. Diane Jones was one of the nicest, really respectable. I think she caught him with someone else, though. He used to sneak girls into the house. If I found them misbehaving in the fron bedroom, I'd throw them out. Our Noel usually took girls upstairs, but only because that was where the record player was. He'd play music to them all night."

  • Serge Simonart: The context of some of your lyrics is fascinating. Like that line "Don't put your life in the hands of a rock and roll band" in 'Don't Look Back in Anger'. That line could be a quote from Mary Whitehouse.
    N: Yeah, it does sound like a warning from a worried parent, doesn't it? But if the band is Oasis, of course it's ok to put your life in our hands. But the thing is, I also meant it as a warning. What I was saying with that particular line was "Ok, Oasis is a great band and we're real and you can trust us. But do not build your life around us, 'cause any rock band can split up at any time, and if you've built your life around it, and the band splits up, you'll be left with no life." I was saying to the fans, "Make sure you've got something else to fall back on."

  • "Sure I love Liam, but not as much as I love Pot Noodles." -noel

  • "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." - noel

  • "My main concern before going on stage is, what frame of mind is Our Kid going to be in? Will he get fucked off and walk off, which he is perfectly capable of doing. He was annoyed when somebody threw a rock at him at a gig, the bloke responsible was lucky cos if we hadn't been having such a good time we'd have jumped in and put him in intensive care. We're not the psychopaths we're made out to be but you don't take shit do you?" -noel

  • "Oasis got their foot in the door and kicked it down" -John Power (Cast)

  • Noel in Ireland: This one's called Hello.
    Liam: No, it's called Howareya!

  • "When we get time off from the band, everyone else goes on 'oliday, but I just start writing. I went away once over the summer, and our management wouldn't let me take a guitar with me - they locked 'em all up. They're afraid of me burning myself out." -noel

  • "Don't you hate it when they have has-beens hand out the awards at these things.....Well, I guess I should talk a little longer, so: I'm Rich , You're Not!" -noel's acceptance speech from the 1995 Brit Awards

  • "Yet again, I was right! It's a pisser being right all the time--it bores the tits off me!" -noel

  • "I do all the work so it's only right that I should get the most money. Plus I am the most handsome." -noel

  • "What makes oasis different?"
    Bonehead: "Good songs."
    Liam: "And a handsome lead singer with a beard."

  • "I don't think he's any more-or any less- than the greatest singer in show business. Simple as that." -noel on liam

  • "I believe in marriage and I believe in the family and I'm going to buy a dog next week and I'm sorry if that pisses people off but I'm a fucking old fart." -liam gallagher on marriage

  • "I'd do time for him I love him. Me and him are cool. If anyone stepped on his toes, I'd cut them off." -liam on his brother, noel

  • "I don't believe in death. Death is just a thing, whatever it is." -liam on death

  • "Didn't really enjoy school much. Didn't enjoy growing up. Didn't enjoy anything until I was maybe 18. We never had any jobs. We were all unemployed and shit like that. I just remember spending hours and hours sat alone in my room playing guitar, quite isolated and cut off from everyone." -noel

  • "Everyone always says how cute Noel's younger brother looked and how he'd make a great front man for a group. The girls were falling over themselves to get to him, even then. Actually, he came as being a lot more placid and sheepish then. At that time, Liam wouldn't have said boo to a goose! He seemed very vulnerable then. I think it's only the success of Oasis that brought Liam out of his shell." -clint boon

  • "A lad is of the male sex. He goes to football matches, drinks lager, likes taking drugs and swearing a lot." -noel

  • "Liam's the King of Lads. Not me. I'm the King of Kings!" -noel

  • Nick Kent: Marriage - has it mellowed you?
    Liam: Yeah, it's great. It's not mellowed me, its just made me feel more important. 'Cos someone wants to spend the rest of her life with me - it's nice.

  • "Sit down, man. Sit down. You're getting into a state. You've had too many G&T's. Sit the fuck down." -liam telling noel to "sit the fuck down" during that interview, y'kno, called wibbling rivalry.

  • "I've got a mike stand, right, and that's what I'm into, what I'm about. I'm not going to fuck off because he thinks my views are too outrageous or whatever. I've got my vibe, and I go to that mike stand, and I do my business. He stands in his fuckin' corner, he does his little riffs and his little dance - let him do that. McGuigan does his bit, I'll do my bit, the drummer does his bit. That's what it's all about. Five people, not one." -liam

  • Q: Do you have any recurring dreams?
    Noel: Yeah. Just one.
    Liam: (Menacingly) I take over the band.

  • Q: What about collaborations? Are you working with anyone else at the moment?
    N: I m working with my wife at trying to clean up the kitchen.
    Q: What about babies?
    N: No, I m not collaborating with any babies, except for Liam.
    ...
    Q: So you are not "mad for it" any more are you?
    N: I was never "mad for it". I was just slightly up for it.

  • Would you be willing to go to a slaughterhouse and kill a cow?
    No. If I had to, I would. If it was either me or the cow, the cow's gonna get it.
    ...
    If a flying saucer landed and some aliens offered to take you away for five years, would you go?
    I'd give up everything I f*****g ever made out of this band to go to another planet with some aliens. I'd give all I've got to go the moon.
    -noel from an article in the Melody Maker

  • What do you think about Nirvana refusing to play it by the end?
    I think that's just taking the piss out of your fans. The Who always play "I Can't Explain" and we'll always play "Wonderwall". People ask us if we get bored of it. You can't get bored of 15,000 people shouting for "Wonderwall". That's better than drugs. You get a hard-on when you hear that.
    ...
    How's Liam?
    Actually, our kid came by where I was recording, and I thought he was gonna sing on some of the demos. But he come sin, opens a can of Red Stripe, sits on the couch, drinks it sown in one, lights a fag, and goes, "It's fucking great being back in the studio!" Fucking hell. He sat there in the same place for a week - didn't even bring a change of clothes - with a bottle of Jack Daniels and a tray of Stellas, just drinking, going, "This is what I miss about being in a band!"

    BUSH

  • "A drink always loosens you up a bit onstage. I drink lager and Jack Daniel's. It keeps me happy and smiling. The world's a very sad place." -nigel pulsford

  • "My sister bleached my hair when I was 11 and totally into being a punk. All her friends used to pull me around corners and kiss me." - gavin rossdale

  • "I play the guitar. Everything I've got is because of these hands." - gavin

  • "When you start wearing tight trousers, you're fucked." -damon albarn

  • "I just didnt want to be up front about everything I wanted it to be a bit more confused." - damon

  • "There's so much going on there it makes you feel ill. It sounds really macho. I really don't get the irony of dressing up like the Village People [in the video]. The Village People are great, but I don't get the joke, really." - graham coxon on U2's Discotheque

  • "Whenever I see Oasis, I think I'm 15 years old and I'm back in school, and we're in different gangs. Liam always comes up to me and then he sees me, but it's this kind of competition thing about who gets the last word in." - damon

  • "It's unique to America, this kind of running around in circles and hitting each other while a band plays. I'll never understand that behavior-but whatever gets you through the day. I don't have any contempt for them as long as they buy our record." - dave rowntree

  • "I feel very much like two people sometimes. Half of me is involving somewhere like Iceland and having kids, and being really simple, and the other half likes the wildness of life in a rock band. It attracts me, but there's something that always pulls me back." - damon

    EWAN

  • "When I was 14, I got thrown off a golf course for swearing . After every shot I would get really angry, screaming 'Fuck! Cunt! Fucking cunt!"

  • "I've been waiting twenty years to have my own light saber. Nothing's cooler than being a Jedi Knight."

  • "I'm very, very, very partial to the margarita, it has to be said."

  • "I'm just looking for that moment to drop my Jedi knickers and pull out my real light saber."

    ...

  • Thom: "Hi, we're Radiohead and we're in Japan and we'd like to say thank you very much to the readers who voted us and our album Best Album of '97...I fucked that up."
    Others: "That was fine, that was good!"
    Thom: "No it wasn't, I didnt even say 'NME'..."
    -thom's acceptance speech at the Brit Awards

  • Beck: "Yeeah! Word up, London people! This is Beck, this is my crew, we're chilling in my lavatory, mmm. You defy the logic of our sex lives! I'd like to give a big up to all our freaks out in England for bestowing this award to me. We'd like to send this one out to all the Jacuzzi cowboys and hot-tub heroes!"
    -beck's acceptance speech at the Brit Awards in '97 he won best solo artist (oh, he was speaking via video link, in a Jacuzzi, full of men in horse masks :)

  • Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode:
    "I hate Sundays, you know."
    ...
    "He said to me that he feels like he gets his songs like...get something from God and he thought that he had to channel that work through me, and I was his voice kind of thing, which I thought was the most beautiful thing he had ever said to me. I mean we were both in kind of the 'I love you' mode but it really stuck in my mind like maybe I really am supposed to deliver some kind of message you kno."
