Liam: (after commissioning a painting of SpongeBob SquarePants for his house)SpongeBob is a f***ing mental, full-of-beans enthusiastic sponge that lives at the bottom of the sea in Bikini Bottom. He's mad for it ... He's got a mate called Squidward, who plays the clarinet, and is grumpy like our kid Noel.
Liam: (on becoming a parent) I didn't always want to be a dad. Just wanted to get off my t*ts and do music but once you get your missus pregnant, you've got to step up to the plate. The kids are just the b*****ks. I enjoy their company more than some idiot in a band or some actor. That's how I've changed.
