I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.

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 a morose person it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.
Robert Smith
Image
I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.
Robert Smith
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
I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

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.

It's better to forget than remember me and cry.
