this is as good an opportunity as ever for everyone to write their favourite Morrissey quote(s) from interviews, gigs they've been too etc.
I'll go first, my favourite quote is-
QUESTION; But don't you ever get sick to death of the sight of your face, your skinny body, your words everywhere?
ANSWER;"Oh, don't be silly, don't be silly, of course not. I'm dramatically under-exposed. I demand more attention! I'd like to do a bitter commercial or something."

Maybe it was in Details, or Spin, I can't remember... it went something like this

Q: Do you mind if I smoke?
A: Will you drive me to the hospital?

Looks like a reissue of "Morrissey in his own words" to me.

Good book for the kids though!!!

Are you a jazz fan?
"Do I look like a jazz fan? (recoils horrified) Spot the trumpet! I don't really like jazz very much."

and . . .

"No, I'm not going to enter a glam phase, do I look as if I am? I'm more likely to wear satin here than on stage. No, I'm happy just being dumpy dumpy dumpy me."

(Although neither, for the moment, seem quite as amusing as 'Char Boy' by Tim Burton. I really have been in the house too long).

"solo artist of the year" award. Over a shared ice cream, he asks the interviewer:

"By the way, please don't headline this article 'Every Day is Like Sundae.'"

After an excruciating interview with the ever oily Jools Holland this exchange made me smile

JH: can you think of a better programme to be on?

Mozz: Badger Watch

I got my story up ... must be a slow news day.

My favourite is the following:

Qu - "If you'd have written the song 'Reasons To Be Cheerful Part III', what would have been in it?"

Ans - "I think it would have been an instrumental."

I spat my tea when I read that one.
