I rate Morrissey as one of the best lyricists in Britain. For me, he's up there with Bryan Ferry.
I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.
I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.
I'm just an individual who doesn't feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I'm working for me.
