- Change theme
Quotes by Steven Patrick Morrissey
- I didn't really see the British punk movement, if that's what it was, as wildly original, because I had been listening so intently to all the New York music since 1973, really.
- I don't want to go on much longer, really. I think that would suggest a lack of imagination. A certain lack of dignity also.
- 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.
- I hated the royal wedding.
- I mean, death is a serious thing, certainly not to be sneezed at.
- I think the pop chart today is entirely market-driven. And it has nothing to do with public taste. And it has nothing to do with moving music forward. It's simply a market chart.
- I think there are unseen powers who don't want pop music to be anything other than glorified Madonnas.
- I'm not an anarchist, but I believe that people don't want the royal family - the so-called royal family.
- I've never intended to be controversial, but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.
- I've only been to Ireland once, and I felt I would wake up with voices in my head, almost like music, and that if I were a songwriter, I would be very inspired.
- If you travel to Germany, it's still absolutely Germany. If you travel to Sweden, it still has a Swedish identity.
