I have never liked Morrissey, and I still don't. I think it's hilarious, actually, what things I've heard about him, what he's really like, and his public persona is so different. He's such an actor.

There were only two times in my life when I've actually felt down about things and gotten myself into a full mental mess. One of the times was in 1982.
