[I saw] that you could write stuff that worked, that had a lyrical meter to it, but that was not conscious of having to rhyme all the time. It’s changed me. I don’t think I’ll be able to go back to any other way of writing now. Just write what you’ve got to say and sing it, and don’t worry about whether it works as a verse or a chorus. That’s what he taught me. It’s amazing. I’m excited about writing words again, you know?

I think you have to talk to the individual (Morrissey) to understand what they’re trying to say, but he’s a tricky fellow. My only communication with him was a series of hilarious emails when I tried to get him on the Gorillaz album, Humanz. I’d a great tune for him called Circle of Friends, but I couldn’t convince him, so he was one of those that got away. I don’t agree with his politics at all, but it doesn’t mean that when a Smiths song comes on that it doesn’t move me.
