When The Smiths began it was very important that I wouldnt be that horrible, stupid, sloppy Steven. He would have to be locked in a box and put on top of the wardrobe. l needed to feel differently and rather than adopt some glamorous pop star name, I eradicated Steven which seemed to make perfect sense. Suddenly I was a totally different person. Now when I meet pre-Smith people who call me Steven, I sit there and wonder who theyre talking about. I always despised the name Steven, though being spelt with a v rather than a ph made life slightly more tolerable. But it was very important that Steven be drowned nonetheless. - The Face (1984)
