I am unable to watch the Olympics due to the blustering jingoism that drenches the event. Has England ever been quite so foul with patriotism?

The fire in the belly is essential, otherwise you become Michael Buble - famous and meaningless. -Morrissey Famous

If you travel to Germany, it's still absolutely Germany. If you travel to Sweden, it still has a Swedish identity. -Morrissey Travel
Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age. -Morrissey Age
