Morrissey Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Morrissey:

With the issue of immigration, it's very difficult because, although I don't have anything against people from other countries, the higher the influx into England, the more the British identity disappears.

Any criticism of Thatcher throws a dangerously absurd light on the entire machinery of British politics. Thatcher's name must be protected, not because of all the wrong that she had done, but because the people around her allowed her to do it.

Morrissey

No British politician has ever been more despised by the British people than Margaret Thatcher.

Morrissey

I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make.

Morrissey

I don't iron anything. Never have and never will.

Morrissey

If anyone has seen the horrific and unwatchable footage of the Chinese cat and dog trade - animals skinned alive - then they could not possibly argue in favour of China as a caring nation. There are no animal protection laws in China and this results in the worst animal abuse and cruelty on the planet. It is indefensible.

Morrissey

The solo years have been more meaningful to the audiences than the Smiths years, but the press in England only write about me in relation to the Smiths era.

Morrissey

The body changes shape and there's nothing you can do about it.

Morrissey

Pop music has progressed.

Morrissey

The Smiths was an incredibly personal thing to me. It was like launching your own diary to music.

Morrissey

Lady Gaga said to me, 'You showed me how it's done.' I have no idea what she meant by 'it.'

Morrissey

Killing a stag is like killing a child.

Morrissey

You have to, at least from a distance, look as if you know what you're doing, and I can manage that.

Morrissey

For me to think in terms of employing security seems ostentatious.

Morrissey

You may not realize this, but people have the power to change the world.

Morrissey

As London is suddenly promoted as a super-wealth brand, the England outside London shivers beneath cutbacks, tight circumstances and economic disasters.

Morrissey

The most common phrase bandied about these days is 'Oh my God'. People say it automatically all the time - not realising that that's a form of prayer.

Morrissey

Artists aren't really people. And I'm actually 40 per cent papier mache.

Morrissey

Not everybody is absolutely stupid. Why on earth would I be racist, what would I be trying to achieve?

Morrissey

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

Morrissey

I always seem to be singing against the grain.

Morrissey

Obviously Madonna reinforces everything absurd and offensive.

Morrissey

I have found the best way to avoid ending your life as a bitter wreck is to start out as one.

Morrissey

What's the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning? Wish I hadn't.

Morrissey

Whether it be Beyonce or Justin Bieber, we see singers who have absolutely nothing to offer anyone as they walk off stage clutching three Grammys in each hand.

Morrissey

England is a memory now. The gates are flooded and anybody can have access to England and join in.

Morrissey

All of us, ultimately, we're not that interesting, when it comes down to it.

Morrissey

That was the problem with the 'celibate' word because they don't consider for a moment that you'd rather not be, but you just are. I was never a sexual person.

Morrissey

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

Morrissey

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.

Morrissey

It's so tedious that everyone must be defined.

Morrissey

You can't help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies.

Morrissey

I don't know what I am.

Morrissey

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

Morrissey

I would find the idea of compiling a setlist that doesn't wildly excite me to be too restricting.

Morrissey

I've been pilloried so many times that I begin to expect it now.

Morrissey

I do think it's possible to go through life and never fall in love, or find someone who loves you.
