I don't want The Cure to fizzle out doing 45-minute shows of greatest hits. That would be awful for our legacy.

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.

Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.

I've got a Facebook page, but I've never put anything on it. I've got a presence on all the social networks, in fact, but I've never once sent a message. I'm there because, otherwise, someone's going to pretend to be me.

For a period in the '90s, I felt that the Cure was massively undervalued. But there has been a paradigm shift. There's a bunch of newer bands coming up who've grown up listening to the Cure and don't understand that you're not supposed to like us.

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.
