We get the papers: I prefer broadsheets because I had the fear of God put into me by the tabloids and, though I’m very much over it, I still don’t really like to read them. It’s a destructive vernacular that makes me angry and scared, and it is all sensationalist onomatopoeia and alliteration. Neil Morrissey Read Quote
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. Neil Morrissey Read Quote
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. Neil Morrissey Read Quote
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. Neil Morrissey Read Quote
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. Neil Morrissey Read Quote
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. Neil Morrissey Read Quote
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! Neil Morrissey Read Quote
When I look back over my career, I just feel pleased that I’m still working and getting some good roles. It’s been 30 years now, and a generation has grown up with me. There are kids who don’t have a clue who I am, but they queue up and ask for my autograph and admit their mums love me! It’s all good – I am having a ball. Neil Morrissey Read Quote
