Artists aren't really people. And I'm actually 40 per cent papier mache.

One day I decided to try to have a complete day without tea. I was quite shaken. I was quite disturbed.

Smiths songs certainly have an astonishing afterlife.

You say: 'Oh, please forgive' You say: 'Oh, live and let live.' But sorry doesn't help us. Sorry will not save us. Sorry is just a word you find so easy to say (so you say it anyway). Sorry doesn't help us. Sorry won't protect us. Sorry won't undo all the good gone wrong.

I see the world, it makes me puke, But then I look at you and know, that somewhere there's a someone who can soothe me.

Young bones groan And the rocks below say, "Throw your white body down!" But I'm going to meet the one I love At last

There's so much destruction all over the world - and all you can do is complain about ME!
