You don't really know a song until you play it live.
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.

I'm not a morose person it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.

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.

You know, the Internet's made us more aware of what people think about us.

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.

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

It's only people that aren't goths that think the Cure are a goth band.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

I really enjoy what I do, and who I'm with and where I am. Having said that, I'm not really a person of habit, because what I do in my job is travel around the world and play concerts to people, and occasionally do very weird things.

I still frequent my parents' house. I go there to escape, back to the bedroom that I grew up in. Just to sit there and feel small.
Robert Smith
Image
I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

Image
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.
Robert Smith
Image
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
Image
There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.
Robert Smith
Image
I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.
Robert Smith
Image
I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.
Robert Smith

I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.
Robert Smith

Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.
