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.

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.

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.

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.
