Racism is beyond common sense and has no place in our society.

When they bury me in a church and chuck earth on my grave, I'd like the words 'Well, at least he tried' engraved on my tombstone.

Racism is beyond common sense and has no place in our society.

I do think it's possible to go through life and never fall in love, or find someone who loves you.

I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make, and I believe it has an important place. Others do, too, and the thousands of people with Morrissey tattoos certainly proves something.

I've never intended to be controversial but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.

I was wasting my life, always thinking about myself.
