Below are a number of quotes from Liam Gallagher from a article/interview from 'The Telegraph' you can read here (Sign Up Required).
I left with no qualifications, and the school got me a job in a garden centre, creosoting fences, a YTS thing. I was getting £50 a week. I'd finish at 3pm, midday on a Friday, so I'd walk past the school, waving my 50 quid at my mates.
I discovered I could sing by singing along to the Top 40 on the radio Then when I saw Roses live, I thought: "I could do that. I've got the look, I've got all the clothes, the haircut's intact, all I've got to do is stand in the front of the microphone and open my mouth - easy."
Three mates that I knew through playing football had a band called The Rain. I was thinking: "If I can get in there with them, and do my singing, I know for a fact that I can get our kid in."
My 16-year-old self imagined being in a band exactly as it is for me now. Music has never ever failed me once. It's everything I imagined it to be. Even when it was particularly bad with me and Noel at the end of Oasis, it was still better than digging holes.
I was the baby of the family - Noel's five years older than me, Paul's seven - but my mam treated us all the same. Burnage was a great place to grow up. It's not as moody as people make out.
Liam Gallagher has spoken to the NME Gold about Paul Weller, he said that he was into a lot of his stuff and that in the 90s he was madder than me and Noel put together.
He said "My other brother Paul was more into The Jam, when we were all living at home. He was massive on them. I really like The Jam as well, but I remember when he came out with his solo stuff, that was what I really got into, when he was doing 'Into Tomorrow' and things like that. After that I was into a lot of his stuff. I remember I went to see him at the Apollo with Steve Cradock around 'Wild Wood' and it was amazing. Amazing voice, amazing songs. He Looked like an honorary Manc at the time. I thought he looked really cool. I like him then, I still like him now. All his new stuff is great: that thing he did for that boxing film recently (Jawbone), mega. we hung around him a lot, obviously, when Oasis kicked off".
He added "He was Noel's mate, but I got on with him, without a doubt, top geezer. he used to tell me to keep writing songs, keep going with it, and he always into my voice. I think. He digs it. And he was mad as fuck. In the 90s he was madder than me and Noel put together, I'm telling you: he was wild."
Paul Gallagher and Alan McGee will both be doing a DJ set at the Official Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds After Show parties in Glasgow and Liverpool,
Noel Gallagher continues to deny it, but an Oasis reunion is inevitable according to his other brother Paul.
The eldest Gallagher sibling has been DJing on Noel's solo tour dates recently.
But he believes it won't be long before Liam, 42, is back in the frame. Paul, 48, said: "I speak to the pair of them, I see Liam every other day.
"This is a big business. I'm sure (the Oasis reunion) will happen one day, there's too much money for it not to.
"They're a premier band. Regardless of what they say... money talks."
Paul is a major influence on his brothers, getting Andy Bell in Oasis and introducing guitarist Jeff Wootton to Noel, 47.
But he's pretty scathing about Noel's solo career. Paul told the Stage Left podcast: "Noel is a frontman now but he's not a frontman, he's a sideman being a frontman. There's more than getting up and singing to being a frontman.
"Whatever Liam does the crowd goes mental. Noel has the songs but not the presence and he'll never have it."
Paul isn't keen on Noel's latest solo album. He laughed: "I bought it to slag it off. Not my cuppa tea, I like things a bit more up.
"There's something missing in that record - Liam."
It comes on the day Liam accused Noel of plotting his exit years before they split.
Garry Cobain, 47, of Amorphous Androgynous revealed Noel was talking about working solo in 2008. After reading that, Liam posted: "Busted."?
"Liam was into breakdancing and Noel was dressed like a rockabilly".
In this weeks episode of The StageLeft Podcast, the eldest Gallagher brother entertains with tales from touring the globe as a DJ, how dance floor audiences differ around the world & what it was like DJing to disgruntled Oasis fans the night the band split.
Paul also gives The StageLeft Podcast his views on the possibility of Liam working with Richard Ashcroft, the family's Irish heritage and the prospect of Oasis reforming.

Liam and Noel Gallagher will mend their feud and re-form Oasis, their older brother has told an Irish documentary.
Noel Gallagher walked out on the band after a backstage spat with his younger brother in August 2009.
But the squabbling siblings' older brother, Paul, has said he believes Irish audiences haven't seen the last of the Britpop band.
And he predicted they will call truce and put the band back together. He said: "I think they've got unfinished business. I think Noel regrets walking out the way he did.
FEELING
"Liam was always going to carry on and do his own thing. I've got a funny feeling something might happen in the future, in two years time, maybe three."
He went on: "All it takes is two guys to say, 'You know what, I'm sorry, but I love you.' That's all it takes, it's not hard. It's easy."
Paul features extensively in tonight's edition of Guth, a TG4 documentary series which explores the Irish roots and influence of some of the world's top musicians.
The contributors to the show said the Irish roots of Oasis' five original members was integral to their success.
The Gallagher brothers, whose mother Peggy hails from Charlestown, Co Mayo, and father Tommy, from Duleek, Co Meath, had "music running through their family", according to the programme.
Paul said: "My mother reckons the music comes from our granny. She was apparently a great whistler and our father played the accordion and the guitar. There was always music in our family." The oldest Gallagher brother also spoke of the brothers' tough upbringing in Manchester, recalling how their mother used to make all their clothes.
He said: "We knew we were different when we came back to school and all the other kids would have pristine jumpers from the stores and we'd be in our knitted jumpers."
Liam Gallagher does not even have his brother Noel’s phone number, the Beady Eye singer has revealed.
The feud between the former Oasis bandmates has raged unabated since Noel walked out of the group in 2009 after claiming he “could not go on working with Liam a day longer”.
In an interview with Radio 5 Live’s Phil Williams, Liam was asked why he did not simply call his brother to talk things through.
“I haven't got his number,” he replied, adding that he doesn’t have a number for his older brother Paul, despite the fact they are still speaking.
“I haven’t got me other brother’s number that I talk to, either. I haven’t got many people’s numbers,” he said.
Liam went on to talk about his bitter relationship with Noel.
“I’ve got nothing to say to him. Not interested in the slightest right now,” he said.
“I’ve not banished him. He hasn’t seen my kids, I haven't seen his kids, and that happens when two people who are stupid talk s**** about each other.
“It's not like Noel’s knocking at my door with a box of chocolates and a bunch of flowers going ‘Speak to me’ and I’m going ‘No’. We’re just not getting on at the moment.”
In a recent interview with the Independent on Sunday, Liam claimed that Noel had been planning Oasis’s split “for years”.
Other promotional engagements for Beady Eye’s new album BE have seen Liam hurl insults at rapper Kanye West and old enemy Robbie Williams.
But Williams hit back this week, saying: “The interviews are better than the records at the minute. I really enjoy the interviews. Liam is like an episode of Star Stories.”

The former Oasis man who is now enjoying success with his new band High Flying Birds, tells Byrne about the things he believes in, the things he doesn't and the thoughts that make him forget his own lyrics on stage.

Noel Gallagher opens up to Gay Byrne about his brother, his estranged father, and his drug years on an episode of The Meaning of Life this Sunday night.
The former Oasis front man who is now enjoying success with his new band High Flying Birds, tells Byrne about the things he believes in, the things he doesn't and the thoughts that make him forget his own lyrics on stage.
In the hour-long interview which took place in Dublin's Merrion Hotel last July, Noel talks about his upbringing in inner-city Manchester and the night his Mayo-born mother Peggy took Noel and his brothers Liam and Paul and fled their father Tommy.
Gallagher insists that when he was growing up in Burnage, there was nothing unusual about coming from a broken family. But his childhood still left him and Paul with stammers, which needed correction through speech therapy.
He also recounts how he played truant for months from a school where his mum was a dinner lady, by sneaking in at lunchtimes and then sneaking out again.
On matters of faith, Noel says that, like most Irish mothers, Peggy raised the boys as regular Sunday mass-going Catholics, until he was a teenager, when his Mum stopped making them go. He also reveals that his wife Sarah is a regular church-goer and he says that he is envious of her faith.
Byrne and Gallagher have met several times already, the first time in 1995 when Oasis played Slane Castle in support of headliners, R.E.M. Peggy told Noel that if he only did one interview in Ireland, it should be with Gay on The Late, Late Show.
Seventeen years later, it was apparently Peggy who once again persuaded her son to record an interview with Gay for The Meaning Of Life.
"I have never met Peggy but she seems to hold me in high esteem," Byrne told the Irish Independent last July. "When Noel came on The Late Late Show in 1995, it was on Peggy's orders, and I'm sure she had some hand in him doing this recent interview."
