"The same can be said about Paul Weller. I remember meeting him in the Oasis dressing room and it kind of shook me up, because I love Paul Weller so much. You know when you meet your idols, and as the saying goes it can be a big disappointment, because they are wankers. Well Paul Weller is not a wanker, he’s a great guy. He is a beautiful person and a good man. I was into The Jam, and what Weller stood for. Apart from The Clash, I loved The Jam more the Pistols. If Weller had been a cunt to me, it would have devastated me."
