My dad was a labourer and my mum had exactly the same job as Noel Gallagher's mum – she was a dinner lady at our local school. Everyone comes over from Ireland and they get the same jobs.
I didn't know my Dad – he moved out early. And my mom's politics were kind of hardscrabble. She didn't think about Democrats or Republicans. She thought about who made sense. I've been both in my life.
