Q: Is is strange to still be in a band with your little brother?

Noel Gallagher: It’s not the ideal situation. If I knew then what I know now, I would have passed on joining his band. He’s just a fucking idiot, you know? You may laugh at that, but I’m actually being serious. I probably wouldn’t have had as much success, but I think I would have been happier.

Q: I probably would never have even met someone like my brother if we weren’t related.

Noel Gallagher: You can’t choose them, can you? I just find him dull. This kind of leery, hard-man exterior… when I know him and he’s a fucking idiot. It just doesn’t wash for me, I’m afraid.
