No use wishing now for any other sin.

I think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.

Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.

You can be addicted to misery the same way as you can be addicted to drugs.

I get very frustrated by this term 'genre exercise.' I mean, what exactly is that? Genre is not really relevant when you are writing a song; hopefully you are doing it to explore something, to create something, and I don't agree that any of my albums are genre exercises.

It's the damage that we do and never know. It's the words that we don't say that scare me so.

Some people can't physically hear things. A kid that listens to Metallica or something can't hear that, because he's filled himself up with this stuff, he physically can't hear a banjo or a harp or something.
