You made me feel less alone; you made me feel not quite so deformed, uninformed and hunchbacked.

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

Nobody can possibly be so hungry that they need to take a life in order to feel satisfied - they don't after all, take a human life, so why take the life of an animal? Both are conscious beings with the same determination to survive. It is habit, and laziness and nothing else.

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

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.

My parents were worried about me, certainly when I became so deeply interested in music and people like the New York Dolls who, at the time, were very peculiar indeed.

Robert Smith is a whingebag.
