Words matter. These are the best Neil Morrissey Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
There’s a lot of stigma attached to being in a home. Other parents don’t want their kids to play with you because you’re naughty or nasty.
There are loads of kids out there who haven’t got a clue what ‘Men Behaving Badly’ was; it was such a long time ago. So I’m able to spread my wings a little bit more. I was able to do it on stage over the years. Most directors and producers don’t know who I am these days, anyway!
I have never been a major fashionista, but I love a suit, and I did have one made for me by the tailor Stephen Williams. The great thing about a bespoke suit is that it covers up my pot belly. When I buy a suit, I’ll pick shoes, belt, tie, shirt and socks, and that will be what I always wear with it.
I can’t bear not to be liked, and I’ve always been a people pleaser.
I know it’s fashionable to blame your childhood for everything nowadays – thank you, Freud. The thing is, though, I really don’t feel scarred by mine. But perhaps if I’d been in therapy for 10 years, and you were able to read the records, you’d disagree.
Quite often, we’re swamped with friends. My house is known as Hotel Morrissey, which is quite handy whenever I need dog-sitters for Tiggy. She’s my tiny little rescue dog, the size of both of my feet put together.
I feel secure in my life, and I’m happy with where I’m at. I realise in some ways how enchanted my life’s been. I could have ended up on a bench outside Stoke station begging for money. I was one of the lucky ones.
Weekends are about replenishment and rejuvenation. Time in Wales would definitely be part of my ideal weekend, at my own hotel, set in 72 acres of absolute gorgeousness. I can already feel the air working its magic, with the sea breeze drifting over us.
I was a kitchen porter for an hour at the Bank of England when I was 18. In the cafe, someone clicked their fingers and shouted, ‘Boy, come and clear my table.’ I walked out.
I’ve always wanted bigger shoulders.
I pay attention to my nails. I have had this particular German nail kit for years, and I take it everywhere. If I don’t trim and file my nails, they turn into talons. I cook a lot, too, and I don’t like to see bits of food stuck under them.
I think actors worry too much about age. They should just get out there and make sure they’re up for whatever jobs come along.
I do know people who buy these huge houses but I always think, ‘What about all that furniture? You’re never even going to sit on it!’ I don’t want to rattle round in a big house.
I don’t sit around and get depressed about things. It’s not my character.
