When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.

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

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 better to forget than remember me and cry.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age, my generation, find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.

I'm not going to worry about the Cure slipping down into the second division it doesn't bother me because I never expected to be in the first division anyway

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

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

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

I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

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

I don't care where the Cure is placed in the pantheon of rock. I don't care if we're perceived as relevant. We're never worried how we fit in. I don't even want to fit in.

A lot of journalists give me a hard time about how I look, but I've never met a journalist I'd rather look like.

There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.
