Sui giornali inglesi e americani si parla assai della frase di Morrissey di cui ho parlato qui.

Oggi sul Telegraph c’è una lista di frasi celebri rilasciate in varie interviste nel passato dal mio idolo mancuniano. Peccato solo siano in inglese così nessuno che legge capirà niente, se avete bisogno chiedete pure (via mail).

1. “What’s the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning? Wish I hadn’t.”

2. “I do maintain that if your hair is wrong, your entire life is wrong.”

3.  “Nothing is important, so people, realising that, should get on with their lives, go mad, take their clothes off, jump in the canal, jump into one of those supermarket trolleys, race around the supermarket and steal Mars bars and kiss kittens.”

4. “Music is like a drug, but there are no rehabilitation centres.”

5.  “Artists aren’t really people. I’m actually 40 per cent papier mache.”

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

7.  “Madonna is closer to organised prostitution than anything else. I mean the music industry is obviously prostitution anyway but there are degrees.”

8. “The Brits are ghastly. I never would accept a Brit. It would be like Laurence Olivier being happy getting a TV Times award.”

9. “I don’t know if I even exist off stage.”

10. “When they bury me in a church and chuck earth on my grave, I’d like the words ‘Well, at least he tried’ engraved on my tombstone.”
