There is an interview with Rufus Wainwright on German television in which he shortly refers to Morrissey. I asked him whether it is possible to be mature and a pop artist at the same time. The answer is at 06:00.

So, his stance on Morrissey is that he is a "mature pop artist with very adult values who also is nuts."
