I would soon learn that watching himself on the small screen was and still is one of Noel's favourite hobbies. Many times, as he fixed on the screen, his body language demanding silence, it was as if he was carefully observing not himself but some other fascinating creature.
Liam: Nope, not bumped into him. The geezer wears many masks, man. Y'know what I mean? He probably walks past me every day.
(As It Was)
彼(ノエル)とばったり会うこともないの?
リアム:
奴はいろんな仮面を被ってるんだ。 分かるだろ? 多分、毎日俺のそばを通り過ぎてるんだろうな。
(『LIAM GALLAGHER:AS IT WAS』より)
In some ways, Gallagher's life has been defined by the women he has been with: mother Peggy, wife Meg, and now girlfriend Sara. As one acquaintance has said: "He's like a chameleon, he takes on the characteristics of the woman he's with." Certainly he seems affected by Macdonald. Throughout his conversation he constantly refers to her: what she's reading, what she's doing, "Sara says this" and "Sara says that."
Liam: I can’t stand social chameleons: people who change to impress whoever they happen to be with.
The Guardian (2017)
他人の最も受け入れ難い性格はどのようなものですか?
リアム:
誰といるかで態度を変えるような人間だ。
(2017年 The Guardianより)
By the time Noel and Liam were in their teens, their room was jammed with musical equipment: stereo, guitars, amps, microphones, bits of four-track recording machines — all Noel's. The posters of the Jam, the Smiths, the Beatles, the Who were his too. What did Liam have? Noel looks at me blankly. “Nothing,” he says, eventually. “Himself. And that was enough.”
