"I was jealous of The Smiths because they were from the North and in a faintly similar vein to us, compared to everything else around. But I resented anyone who was successful.
I thought Morrissey's words were alright sometimes, and I liked a couple of songs like 'Girlfriend in a coma', but it all didnt have much of a tune for me, and I just dont think he can sing, which is his problem, I'd say. And I've never been into this 'Johnny Marr, guitarist for a generation stuff.
The Smiths first album came out the same week as ours. They got attention and we didnt.
(1995)
Obviously, you've got to be true to what you are. I think that is why Morrissey's had loads of problems, and why he's not considered to be significant any more. He just kept harping on about the same things, and after a while people think 'Well its alright going on about being inadequate, but you're not inadequate any more because you're popular."

I dont know what interviews these quotes are from, I read them in Jarvis Cocker in his own words which is now deleted and cost me a fortune. Anyone want to buy it? I seem to have gone off the beardy bastard
