Morrissey: "Right. I give in, I give in. I'm going back to bed."
AB: Up against the wall, thanks.
Morrissey: "No look, I know. You don't have to tell me. I'm a clever person. I've got my rights. There's a reason why I'm here. You're not going to catch me out. You're not going to trip me up. I'm genuine."
AB: The genuine artifact?
Morrissey: "The genuine article."
AB: Do you think that 'Meat Is Murder' is subconscious self-flagellation for practising or latent homosexuality?
Morrissey: "Never! I never think that! It's never occurred to me..."
AB: Did you have a bad experience as a child?
Morrissey: "What? With meat?" (Blushes)
AB: What do you find highly erotic at the grand old age of 25?
Morrissey: "Highly erotic? Mmmmm... I can't give you a satisfactory reply. I do find many things erotic, but I can't give you a satisfactory reply. As a child ofthe Sixties, when the seats of cars were made of leather, to me there was something highly erotic about actually being in a car. I have always found cars highly erotic - not the driver's seat ... there was just something about the old leather seats ... The things that I find erotic are certain situations. They don't even have to be particularly sexual ... I don't have to tell you. The erotic feelings I have are very conventional, I'm afraid. It's just - oh, I can't say!!!"
AB: Yes you can. Look up.
Morrissey: "No, I can't! It's silly! It's silly!"
AB: Do you get turned on by situations in which you're repressed?
Morrissey: "No I don't. I think I'm always 'turned on'."
AB: I mean sexually aroused.
Morrissey: "Next question."

The Smiths performing “Bigmouth strikes again” at the London Palladium in 1986. For some reason, the various people who uploaded other videos from this gig to Youtube didn’t seem to bother with this one…

While living in Los Angeles, one young man tracked down [Morrissey’s] Hollywood address, covered the singer’s car in Morrissey pictures, removed his clothes and danced naked outside his house. ‘I think he was trying to tell me something,’ pondered Morrissey. ‘Somebody called the police, oddly enough, and they carted him off. I believe they charged him with being too happy and enjoying his body far...
