“The Royal family to me are not England, and they are not the flag.” — Morrissey

If you love animals, obviously it doesn't make sense to hurt them.

I think there are unseen powers who don't want pop music to be anything other than glorified Madonnas.

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

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.
