Whether he's laying into the Prime Minister and calling him a "silly twit" at Glastonbury Festival, berating the latest pop sensation or simply putting pen to paper and having a good old gripe through his lyrics, Morrissey is never far from cutting – and often controversial – comments.

Here Gigwise has compiled a selection of The Smiths frontman's most famous – and infamous – quotes and comments from over the years.
