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

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.

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've discovered special makeup by a company called M.A.C. You could wear it on the surface of the sun and it wouldn't move.

I have never liked Morrissey, and I still don't. I think it's hilarious, actually, what things I've heard about him, what he's really like, and his public persona is so different. He's such an actor.

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.

Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Never trust the umpire.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Image
It's better to forget than remember me and cry.
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'm not a morose person it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.

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

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.

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.
