I have never liked Morrissey, and I still don't. I think it's hilarious, actually, what things I've heard about him, what he's really like, and his public persona is so different. He's such an actor.

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.

In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.

Anyone can rehearse and play constantly any song in the world.

It's only people that aren't goths that think the Cure are a goth band.

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

I'm not a morose person; it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.
