A lot of journalists give me a hard time about how I look, but I've never met a journalist I'd rather look like.

I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.

I think the rock'n'roll myth of living on the edge is a pile of crap.

I've never regretted not having children. My mindset in that regard has been constant. I objected to being born, and I refuse to impose life on someone else.

My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool's like - it's nothing like I imagined it was as a child.

It's really nice meeting people after a concert. Still, it's very weird to be at the center of a group of 30 people all listening to what you're saying. When that group turns into 300 people, it goes on from weird. Some people revel in it, and I don't.

There were only two times in my life when I've actually felt down about things and gotten myself into a full mental mess. One of the times was in 1982. I had a horrible time for a few months and felt pretty desperate. Then again in 1984, for various reasons, not all of them within my control. Since then, I just wander in and out of black moods.

I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.

I married somebody who likes the way I look. If I changed my hair every year, and I reinvented myself in time-honoured pop fashion, I think understandably the person I'm married to would grow slightly sick of me.

I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.

Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.

No, come to think of it, I don't think the Cure will end, but I can make up an ending if you want me to.

I don't care where the Cure is placed in the pantheon of rock. I don't care if we're perceived as relevant. We're never worried how we fit in. I don't even want to fit in.
