Morrissey

"Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age."

"I'm not an anarchist, but I believe that people don't want the royal family - the so-called royal family."

"Long hair is an unpardonable offence which should be punishable by death."

"Racism is beyond common sense and has no place in our society."

"That's why I do this music business thing, it's communication with people without having the extreme inconvenience of actually phoning anybody up."

"The fire in the belly is essential, otherwise you become Michael Buble - famous and meaningless."

"The monarchy is foremost a business, and it's important to them that the British public continue to finance the excessive luxurious lifestyles of the now quite enormous, wasteful and useless 'royal' family. I find it very sad."

"When I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me."
