Quotes by Liam Gallagher
Americans want grungy people, stabbing themselves in the head on stage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don't get it.
Americans want grungy people, stabbing themselves in the head on stage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don’t get it. I’m 24 years old, I’ve got a load a money, what am I gonna do, sit at home and twiddle me thumbs? No. I’m gonna go out and ’ave it.
I don’t know what any of my songs are about. I don’t sit down to write about anything. They’re about whatever you want. I don’t pick subjects. I just start.
You’ve seen one of the our gigs you’ve seen ’em all. But if you’re into the music, you’ll know that we played better the night before or we can play better.
It’s about the music and that’s it. I’m not an entertainer. But I do entertain people, see what I mean?
I don’t know what any of my tunes are about, they’re just out there. I’m not good with words. I just say the first thing that comes into my head.
