When asked "What would his girlfriend Debbie Gwyther, say is his worst habit?"

She likes to browse. I ain’t got time for browsing. My mam will say the same thing. Groceries or clothes, I’m the same – I’m in and out.’

Liam Gallagher has spoken about why he goes for a daily run on Hampstead Heath at 6.30.
He said ‘When I’ve done a run I feel great after. I ran for Manchester when I was in school, long-distance. Won a few medals. So I’ve always been into it. But then I got in a band and all that shit goes out the window. But I love it – I can run, man. I’m not speedy but I can go long distances. I don’t know how many miles. I don’t wear all these silly watches, I just go for it.’ For Liam, this way lies good mental health.
‘I get things off my chest. A lot of people keep it all indoors. Being me’s good. I can f—ing say what I want, whether people like it or not. I go for my run, I come back, I’ve let all my shit out, then I bring it in, then I let it out. I’m like a good conveyor belt.’

When asked why does he have a dig at Noel so regularly? Why doesn’t he just let it go?
He said ‘’Cause I don’t want to let it go,’ he retorts. ‘What’s there to let go? I just like having a pop at him.’ For sport? ‘Yeah, man. Oh yeah. Don’t want to let him go, mate, f— that. Got him right on the ropes.’
You think? ‘Oh, I know man. How do I know? ’Cause I know… Anyway,’ he frowns, ‘we’re not here to speak about that c—, he’s had enough. But for the record, I don’t hate him… He’d love it if I just shut up shop, and didn’t say anything, and gave him an easy life to go and do his thing. It’s not happening. He’s had four f—ing years of [peace] now. And now I’m back doing what I do, I’m going to make it very f—ing hard for him to get back in the ring, man. Yeah.’
And yet, and yet… He’d prefer that we were here talking about the eighth Oasis studio album. This, he clarifies, is because ‘it’s a craic’ when you’re in a band. ‘But these are the cards I’ve been dealt. So I’m quite happy doing this.’
He added ‘I’ve got nothing to apologise to Noel Gallagher for. He was the one who split the band up, because he reckons I was the big bad wolf and scaring him and all that. That’s bollocks. Everyone knows the truth… He wanted to go and do his own thing, which is fine, but don’t throw people under the bus along the way.’

Liam Gallagher was asked about his escapades and the public discussion of them, might cause him problems on the home front.
He said ‘Bring it on, mate, I’ve looked after all my kids. They’ve gone to lovely schools, they’ve got houses over their heads, they get fed, I’ve done everything that’s meant to be done. So they ain’t got no f—ing legs to stand on with that. There’s two boys that were born out of my f—ing love and my marriages and I get on with them. I haven’t seen the others. That’s just the way it is.’
Still. Four children with four women and two failed marriages little wonder that lawyers on both sides of the Atlantic had a field day.
‘Morning, noon and night with them f—ing c—s, and they’re still at it. The thought of getting a new band together, that was miles away. Then with all the other stuff going down, I was like, “F— this, I need to get out of London, out of England. Go and just live a little.” So, I thought I’d go to Spain for a bit, it’s round the corner.’

Liam was asked were does his hump come from?
He replied ‘Passion, man. It’s very easy to fall into the trap when you’ve got a lot of people patting you on the back. I know how great I am. And I know how shit I am. And a lot of other people just think they’re f—ing great, and they’d do well realising they’re f—ing not.’

Taken from a interview with Greg Kurstin who talks about working with Liam Gallagher, read the full article here.
For the Oasis singer’s solo debut, Kurstin worked on four songs — “Wall of Glass,” “Bold,” “Paper Crown,” and “Come Back to Me” — and flexed some new production muscles in the process. “[Liam] was referencing things that I love but haven’t gotten a chance to do before on a recording — earlier Stones and Bowie and stuff like that,” Kurstin says. “It was really fun for me to break out that gear in my studio and just try to get the raunchiest sounds I possibly could. I would pound on the drums and he would cheer me on. That fired me up to make the tracks aggressive and loud and to get the dirtiest, loudest sounds I could.”
And Kurstin says he and his fellow collaborator, Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt, had a breeze working with the notoriously cantankerous Gallagher. “He seemed into the sounds I was adding, so that got me really comfortable,” Kurstin explains. “He can be really funny, just telling stories, and then he gets on the microphone and he sings and he’s got that amazing voice. I had such a great experience with him.”

Liam Gallagher
It’s easy to pull out the superlatives when it comes to band frontmen: charismatic, enigmatic, tortured, larger than life. But while Liam Gallagher might fit the bill as much as anyone, the 45-year-old singer and recent solo artist still possesses the ability to catch you off-guard.

Liam Gallagher
Oasis
Richard Ashcroft
Stone Roses
The former Oasis frontman, who's preparing to release his debut solo album next month, also has Richard Ashcroft on his wish list.
Liam Gallagher is keen to collaborate with The Stone Roses.
The 44-year-old singer is set to release his debut solo album titled As You Were on 6 October, but the star has admitted he would "much prefer" to be in a band or partner up with his fellow Mancunians.
Speaking to Consequence Of Sound about his career, he said: "Anyone that would be in a supergroup or that would have anything to do with a supergroup are all solo. There's far too many solo stars out there for my liking and not enough bands. I'm doing this cause I have to. I'd much prefer to be in a band.
"The ideal ones would be the guys out of The Stone Roses. I think they just split up, so that would be good. [Richard] Ashcroft would be good. There's a lot of people out there, but the majority of them are all doing their own thing. But, if they want to do one, give us a shout. I'll do it."
Although the Wonderwall singer is open to collaborating with fellow musicians, he won't go through with any partnerships if he isn't singing.
He explained: "But, I'd have to be the singer. I'm down with it, but I'm not going to f**king stand there and do tambourine. I need to be on the f***ing mic, man."
Now Liam has left Oasis following his feud with his brother and fellow band member, Noel, he plans to simply "enjoy" his career and live "in the moment", because he feels time has passed him by.
He added: "But one record at a time, man. That's one thing I've learned over the last 20 years -- to f**king enjoy it and be in the moment. The last couple things, I got caught up in the bubble, and it just passes you by, and you go, 'Well, what the f**k happened there?' So, this time, one record at a time, and I guess we'll see how it goes. You got to live in the now, man, cause it's precious. As you get older, every day is f**kin'... You gotta wear it, you know what I mean? Thinking about the future, f**k that shit.
"I'm feeling good about it, so we'll see what happens at the end of the tour."

Noel Gallagher
"We honoured the victims properly."
Noel Gallagher has opened up on the “honour” of playing the first show at Manchester Arena after it reopened last weekend following a terrorist attack at the venue earlier this year.
23 people were killed in May when a suicide bomber blew himself up in the foyer of the venue as Ariana Grande fans left a concert by the American singer.
Among the dead were the singer’s young fans, along with their parents who had travelled to the venue to collect them after the concert.
Now, former Oasis guitarist Noel has described the “honour” of joining the likes of Rick Astley and The Courteeners on the bill for the ‘We Are Manchester’ re-opening concert last weekend.
He revealed that the gig proved to be the first time that he had ever felt nervous before a show, after ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ became adopted as an “anthem for defiance” by the people of Manchester.
“It was great. It was the first time I ever got nervous going on stage, because of what happened with that song in the aftermath of the bombing. It kind of become an anthem for defiance and other people rallied round in the minute’s silence, which I was watching live on the news when it happened and I was rendered kind of speechless”, he told BBC 6 Music’s Shaun Keaveney.
“As it getting closer I was thinking I hope I’m going to be able to pull this off cos it’s quite an emotional thing, y’know what I mean? It’d be an emotional thing if it was a gig in, I don’t know, Dagenham, but the fact that it’s your hometown and you’ve played that arena.
“But it was great and we think that we, everybody that performed, we honoured the victims properly, and the survivors. We had a great time afterwards and we’d seen in Sunday afternoon. I’m still feeling it, I’ve gotta say.”
Hailing the “importance” of music, he added: “The thing that I’ve learnt with Don’t Look Back In Anger, the one thing I’ve learnt is music is of the upmost importance. That in a minute’s silence, something so horrific that people are in their own thoughts in silence, and one girl breaks the silence by singing that silence and then everyone joins in all together in that moment. Music really is important.”
