Noel Gallagher - BBC interview

Mark Lawson from the BBC recently sat down with Noel Gallagher for an hourlong interview. They talked at length about Gallagher's upbringing and childhood (Noel referred to his dad as a "shit dad") and called himself out for being moody ("I don't like smiling...I put it down to being a Gemini"). Of course they also got around to discussing the breakup of Oasis, Noel's solo career, and songwriting.

One of the best Noel quotes from the interview was the response to a question about what it's like for him to sing Oasis songs live as a solo artist:

"When I'm singing those songs I know what those words mean to me and I can deliver them in the way that they were written. So I know what "Wonderwall" is about--even if it's about nothing, I know what kind of nothing it's about."
