AN: When will it be out?
Morrissey: Too soon - for some people.

Stuart Maconie: You're often accused of pining for a mythical Britain. Do you?
Morrissey: People ask me about the old England as if I were some character from The Mayor Of Casterbridge. Yes, unavoidably I'm English but it's not as if I go about with a cravat and a sports coat with leather elbows. I'm not Terry-Thomas.

Elissa Van Poznack: If eternal youth were for sale, would you buy it?
Morrissey: No. I've always found people of an advanced age most alluring. The older I get the calmer I become.
Elissa Van Poznack: So you don't see any parallel between yourself and Dorian Gray?

Morrissey: Yes, I believe so.
Kirsty Young: What did he say?
Morrissey: He said, "I’ve come to pick up a parcel and you are that parcel."
