More quotes by Robert Smith
You know, the Internet's made us more aware of what people think about us.
Robert Smith
I think the rock'n'roll myth of living on the edge is a pile of crap.
Robert Smith
I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.
Robert Smith
I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter.
Robert Smith
Hendrix was the first person I had come across who seemed completely free, and when you're nine or 10, your life is entirely dominated by adults. So he represented this thing that I wanted to be. Hendrix was the first person who made me think it might be good to be a singer and a guitarist - before that I wanted to be a footballer.
Robert Smith
Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.
Robert Smith
I started out in the 'Cure' reflecting things that I thought were important, and it's reached a point where it takes over and becomes the thing that is important.
Robert Smith
I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.
Robert Smith
I just don't feel comfortable anymore with the kind of attention that I'm getting. It's purely the numbers of people that want a bit of the Cure or want a bit of me.
Robert Smith
If I put a value on my music, and no one's prepared to pay that, then more fool me, but the idea that the value is created by the consumer is an idiot plan it can't work.
Robert Smith
I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.
Robert Smith
I do a job I really, really love and I kind of have fun with. People think you can't be grown up unless you're moaning about your job.
Robert Smith
There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith
Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.
Robert Smith
I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?
Robert Smith
It's only people that aren't goths that think the Cure are a goth band.
Robert Smith
I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.
Robert Smith
I don't want The Cure to fizzle out doing 45-minute shows of greatest hits. That would be awful for our legacy.
Robert Smith
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.
