Noel: I meet people and they always say to me "you seem very well ajusted, you seem really nice" and I always think "do I?" because I know me and— I've lived with people and they never get to know me. And it's me that switched off the light and that, but I don't think I'm well ajusted at all, sometimes I sit down and I think I'm a bit of an asshole, but I meet other people and they say "oh you're really..." And I think they're talking about someone else. But then, I'm a gemini, so.

Q: It's interesting that you said that they could live with you and still don't really get to know you (...) Are you afraid that we really got to know you, maybe we wouldn't like you?

— Noel on "Duo Benezra", Montreal (2002)

Noel Gallagher on … Everything: 'I F-cking Changed People's Lives!'

Gallagher tells Rolling Stone about his strong new album, why he’s sure his brother Liam doesn’t really want to reunite Oasis, why he hates

Noel: [Cast No Shadow] is about songwriters in general but Richard, and people like Richard, tend to bare their souls in songs and when they've given everything they got inside, then — I had this idea when I was out of it — they become transparent, they become hollow, and they cast no shadow. And that's why I don't write personal lyrics, because uh, y'know, I can't be bothered.

— Noel Gallagher for MTV 120 Minutes, January 18 1998

Q: maybe because you've been so opinionated and so fortight with what you feel, people also assume that it's not easy to hurt you. Are we right on assuming that? Or is it easy to hurt you?

Noel: Well I don't cry. I cried when my daughter was born (...) But no, it's not very easy to hurt me. If I felt emotionally scarred by anything I'd write it down in lyrics, I wouldn't— See, if you were to hurt me, I'd never let you know that you hurt me. You'd be the last person to find out. Y'know, because, again, it's being male, Irish and from Manchester. You don't show your feelings.

Q: and yet though, in your lyrics... They're so tender.

Noel: well, that's where it all comes out, you see?

Noel: there's a whole cd bootleg you can get called "The Whole Story" and there's about twelve or thirteen songs before the original demo that we gave to McGee, "Colour my life" being one of them (...) But "Take Me" was the one that Liam and Bonehead wrote, which is a really, really, really good tune, if it was done properly, but I don't know whether Bonehead would agree. Well, Liam's always hated that song, but I love it."

Noel: I'm in the studio, noodling away.

Q: Noodling away about anything in particular?

Noel: Well you know I'm a musician. I write songs for a living.

Q: So you're currently writing new songs, that's what you're saying?

Noel: Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm doing, that's what I do.

Q: Is that for Oasis or High Flying Birds?
