Quotes

#	Quote
1	[About how he wants to be remembered] ...as a good friend. You know, I don't really need to be remembered. I hope the music's remembered.
2	Music is my mother and my father; it is my work and my rest...my blood...my compass...my love...
3	The Smiths hasn't been equaled. That goes for the composition of the songs, the lyrics, and the performance. What Johnny Marr and he [Morrissey] did was fabulous, nobody can beat that. If I'd ever start a rock band, I'd want to approximate that level.
4	I want to be ripped apart by music. I want it to be something that feeds and replenishes, or that totally sucks the life out of you. I want to be dashed against the rocks.
5	I've always felt that the quality of the voice is where the real content of a song lies. Words only suggest an experience, but the voice is that experience.
6	I don't want my reputation to take me over, I just want to be judged on my songs. I want people to come and see me because they want to, not because fashion dictates it. I don't belong in magazines, I belong on stage, in front of the audience, one-to-one. There's something that happens there. The rest is just crap.
7	I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.
