I find that it isn't wise to attempt to judge people on their public persona, and even on the music they make. Because I've met so many people whose music I cannot stand, and they're very nice. At the same time, I've met people whose music I've loved, and they're not the person you've invested all this emotion in.

That was the problem with the 'celibate' word because they don't consider for a moment that you'd rather not be, but you just are. I was never a sexual person.

Unfortunately, I am not homosexual... In technical fact, I am humasexual. I am attracted to humans. But, of course, not many.

I would rather eat my own testicles than reform The Smiths, and that's saying something for a vegetarian.

Popular music is slowly being laid to rest in every conceivable way... the ashes are already about us if we could but notice them.

I'd love to...but only with you.

The Smiths are never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to reunite - ever.
