As we all know, it’s established fact that Noel Gallagher quotes are the most insightful, shrewd, sharpest, hilarious and potentially offensive utterances known to multimedia. In a few years’ time there’ll be books published with nothing but quotes from Noel G in them in much the same way there are books nowadays with nothing but quotes from Buddha, him out of the Bible and all the other ones. Far from it to be said that Noel is a genius on a par with that lot but let’s face it, this is an article about Noel being a genius so yes, it should be said.

The internet has loads more but here are a few choice Noel Gallagher quotes to set you off with:

‘I did drugs for 18 years and never got that bad as to say, “You know what? I think the Kaiser Chiefs are brilliant.”’

‘Take That’s Howard Donald said in a documentary that he hears voices in his head at night, willing him to fail. Fail at what, Howard? You don’t do anything.’

‘If Thom Yorke s*** into a lightbulb and started blowing it like an empty beer bottle he’d probably get 9/10 in Mojo.’

‘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.’

‘Liam only has two problems – everything he f****** says and everything he f****** does.’
