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

I'm in the strange position of the world drifting away from me, but you know what? I'm actually quite content with that. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't feel like, 'Oh God, I'm being left behind.'
Robert Smith
Image
When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.
Robert Smith
Image
I'm not a morose person it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.
