I don't necessarily think that the world should know everything, and even if you consider yourself to be extremely honest, that doesn't mean you have to blurt everything out all the time.
Quote by -Morrissey
I didn't really see the British punk movement, if that's what it was, as wildly original, because I had been listening so intently to all the New York music since 1973, really.
Quote by -Morrissey
I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make.
Quote by -Morrissey
The paradox is that I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make, and I believe it has an important place. Others do, too, and the thousands of people with Morrissey tattoos certainly proves something.
Quote by -Morrissey
I find that it isn't wise to attempt to judge people on their public persona, and even on the music they make. Because I've met so many people whose music I cannot stand, and they're very nice. At the same time, I've met people whose music I've loved, and they're not the person you've invested all this emotion in.
Quote by -Morrissey
You have to, at least from a distance, look as if you know what you're doing, and I can manage that.
Quote by -Morrissey
As a very small child I found recorded noise and the solitary singer beneath the spotlight so dramatic and so brave... walking the plank... willingly... It was sink or swim. The very notion of standing there, alone, I found beautiful.
Quote by -Morrissey
The solo years have been more meaningful to the audiences than the Smiths years, but the press in England only write about me in relation to the Smiths era.
Quote by -Morrissey
Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well'.
Quote by -Morrissey
It could be construed that the reason I wouldn't wish to live in England is the immigration explosion. And that's not true at all.
Quote by -Morrissey
I don't want to go on much longer, really. I think that would suggest a lack of imagination. A certain lack of dignity also.
Quote by -Morrissey
I'm not an anarchist, but I believe that people don't want the royal family - the so-called royal family.
Quote by -Morrissey
I don't think I'm ever forgiven for anything, which is baffling because I'm not on TV that much.
Quote by -Morrissey
If you travel to Germany, it's still absolutely Germany. If you travel to Sweden, it still has a Swedish identity.
Quote by -Morrissey
That's why I do this music business thing, it's communication with people without having the extreme inconvenience of actually phoning anybody up.
Quote by -Morrissey
I would find the idea of compiling a setlist that doesn't wildly excite me to be too restricting.
Quote by -Morrissey
With the issue of immigration, it's very difficult because, although I don't have anything against people from other countries, the higher the influx into England, the more the British identity disappears.
Quote by -Morrissey
Not everybody is absolutely stupid. Why on earth would I be racist, what would I be trying to achieve?
Quote by -Morrissey
That was the problem with the 'celibate' word because they don't consider for a moment that you'd rather not be, but you just are. I was never a sexual person.
Quote by -Morrissey
Everything about my life is private, really. I'm not so sure that any of it has ever been public.
Quote by -Morrissey
I think there are unseen powers who don't want pop music to be anything other than glorified Madonnas.
Quote by -Morrissey
If you walk through Knightsbridge on any bland day of the week you won't hear an English accent. You'll hear every accent under the sun apart from the British accent.
