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.
Robert Smith
Image
My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool's like - it's nothing like I imagined it was as a child.

Image
I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter.
Robert Smith
Image
You know, the Internet's made us more aware of what people think about us.
Robert Smith
Image
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.
Robert Smith
Image
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.
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
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.
Robert Smith
Image
There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.

Image
It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.
Robert Smith
Image
The further I get from the things that I care about, the less I care about how much further away I get.
Robert Smith

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.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

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.

In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.
Robert Smith
Image
Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
Robert Smith
Image
I think, at heart, unless you discover faith in something else, something other, it's very hard to shake the thing that you're adrift alone.
Robert Smith
Image
Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.

It's only people that aren't goths that think the Cure are a goth band.

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.
