Noel: “No, she (Anais) is gorgeous, she's fucking great, she's... See, I've always wanted a baby sister when Liam was born, which is why I've always hated him. Saying that... He's grown up into a fine woman, so... maybe I've got a sister.
Noel: “If he came into this room and told me, that all his life he had actually been a woman, I wouldn’t be fuckin’ surprised, I’d go 'I always knew there was something funny about you', there’s nothing that boy could say, or DO, that would shock me anymore."
Ant &Dec: Would you change anything, looking back?
Noel: Would've made sure Liam was a woman.

アント&デック: 振り返ってみて、何か変えたいことはありますか?
ノエル:リアムを女性にする。
Noel announces he doesn’t want “The Hindu Times” released and describes Liam’s reaction: “Liam, like the fucking woman he is, goes fucking apeshit: ‘You’re off your fucking head! You’re smoking too much pot! I’m not going to speak to you, you fucking dick!’ and slams the phone down.”

“Liam had been whingeing about his monitors all the way through the tour After the fourth song, '…Morning Glory', I said to him 'Are you gonna fucking shut up for the rest of the fucking year, or are you gonna carry on moaning you moaning bastard?'. He looked at me really weirdly and threw his tambourine on the floor like a woman, then walked off." At first, Noel assumed Liam would return. But he had gone for the night. Noel added: "The tour manager said he had gone, so I thought: 'You fucking wanker'. They got Liam on the phone and there was just this torrent of abuse. I haven't spoken to him since. Not a word. It's probably best that way, until the tour is finished. Because if I did, I would probably knock him out. "If he walks into a room, I'll walk out because I think he fucking let us down. I don't mind if he's got a sore throat, but not if he just wantonly has a diva fit on stage because his elder brother tells him to stop moaning?"
Noel: "It often sounds to me a lot more vicious than it is. It's all said very tongue-in-cheek, y’ know? But when it's in black and white, obviously you don't see the smirk on our faces when we're saying it."
But don't expect the bash brothers to let up on the fighting any time soon.
"It's something that comes naturally to me," he says, adding, "I quite enjoy it as well."
Recently Noel said Liam was like a woman with constant PMS, while Liam called Noel a "fuckin' smug cunt." But Noel wasn't upset. In fact he embraced it.
"Well I am a fuckin' smug cunt," he says, with a smirk.
Noel: “ Yeah, they (women) turn into these big blubbery things. I love making women cry and knowing I was the one what made them do it…. And the only thing better than making women cry is making me brother cry, so I can laugh at him and tell him he looks like a woman.”
