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

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

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.

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.

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

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

I think that if you become a parent, you stop being a child, and your position in relation to your parents changes.

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

In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.

Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.

Sometimes I'll get to the end of a song, open my eyes and there's all these faces peering at me. It's quite horrifying.

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 am very self-conscious a lot of the time.
