Morrissey: "'People tell me that they fall in love with me, but I sit at home, night after night, watching television documentaries, and I ask myself: Where are all these people who are falling in love with me? And, you know, I’m stroking the cat … I’m buttering a large piece of brown toast … I’m asking myself whether or not I really have anything at all to do with youth culture … it’s very curious.'"
