I can chase you, and I can catch you, but there is nothing I can do to make you mine.

I was never young. This idea of fun: cars, girls, saturday night, bottle of wine... to me, these things are morbid. I was always attracted to people with the same problems as me. It doesn't help when most of them are dead.

It may all end tomorrow, or it could go on forever (in which case I'm doomed).

Humans are not really very humane.

I don't even know if I exist offstage.

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 think flowers are very beautiful things. Very nice and innocent things. They don't harm anybody.
