Quote:
Morrissey, in a Q&A session on True To You in June 2007 about what makes a concert memorable for him: "The audience doesn't realize this but, I, in effect, come to see them, and my temperament depends on how they react and even how they look. I sing directly at the audience, and I look right into the audience - few singers do, I've noticed. I am addressing them with each line, and they react - one way or another - as if we are in conversation. Often, because of the light, I can't see people - this is usually at festivals or outdoor amphitheaters and is nobody's fault, but I tend to lose the thread when I'm singing to blackness. Also, if the security at the front are too stroppy and too controlling my anger rises. The shape of the hall, and how the audience are positioned - whether free to move, or shackled to their seats, or being slapped back by security, are all elements that can make or break a night. I'm just there-somewhere-in the gaps."
Then, about how he feels on stage, in front of this audience: "I think it's the only time in my life that I feel right about myself. Otherwise, I don't have any function at all as a human being....which is unfortunate! I'm not sure if I even exist offstage."
