SPEAKER_Morrissey> Adam, re: films I like,
you should see "Nil by Mouth," but not if you're feeling particularly happy.
Daniel, re: playing piano,
I only play with my elbows.
Goldenbrad, re: the next album,
The next album has been written but has yet to be recorded b/c I'm waiting to find a new deal. But the songs are the best yet.
Pepe, re: fav number b/El Vez,
I love El Vez. I wanted him to come to England and to Europe. He's influenced me greatly.
Mel, re: touring,
It's the best part of being involved in music. B/c it's the most free part.

There's no melody (sigh).
Rimbaud, re: cover songs?,
There are so many. So many. (laughs)
re: 90's bands,
Predictably, I feel very little towards them. Everybody really does seem to do the same thing.

Oh God, my clothes do not rock, ever. Nowhere special. How can clothes rock?
Elsberry, re: sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll,
Rock 'n' roll, because it is the other two.

Most people aren't even that genuine.

It won't last.
Ordinary Boy, re: bands copying my style,
They do it so badly.
Vic, re: good songwriter?,
A complete disregard for the music industry.

I do a hell of a lot of eavesdropping. So watch out, I could be standing behind you right now.

I'll be sitting on babies, I mean babysitting.
Ral, re: animal or vegetable,
The animal and the vegetable, that I am.
Oscar, re: going to the moon,
Skip.
Mel, re: why doing this w/KROQ,
Is this Richard Blade?
Rebecca, re: someone special in my life?,
Me.

Just think of all the money I save while dining out.
Louderthanmusic, re: fave line ever wrote,
This story is old, I know but it goes on.
Wintermelt, re: reading fan sites?,
I'm told about them, without having to read them. I have a Web site slave.

It was never released.
Soy, re: "Kit,"
It's a little irrelevant.

Help me!

oh, definitely.

I'm waiting for you, Hulmerist25.

There's no sure way, there's no official way. I don't actually exist.

Yes, it's made me more normal.
re: being famous...
Especially in Scottsdale.
re: working with Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant,
Yes, I'm working on his hair.
re: signing with a smaller label,
I would definitely consider signing with a smaller label. Bigger does not necessarily mean better.

I wouldn't have a career.

I certainly don't eat animals or fish, and I never will.

They think it's very peculiar.

Well, no.

There's no chance of my telling you that whatsoever.
Any last questions.

Yipster, re: what I'm reading?,
Affidavits.
Rockon, re: a tribute album me,
It wouldn't matter who's on it b/c if anybody covers your songs, you're incredibly grateful, as long as it's not Britney Spears.
A secret message: The vest is yet to come.
I'd like to thank everybody for their time.
I'd like to thank everybody for sticking around and supporting me. It's been a long haul.
Good night, and thank you.

When asked if there would be a smith's reunion he said:
'The Smiths is dead boys'
From Morten Larsen: It seems that you have missed one of Morrissey's more interesting answers, possibly because it was his first one.
He was answering my question:
"Are you going to play Smiths-songs on your coming tour, and are you going to debut new songs?"
He answered "Morten, the answer to all your questions is yes."
