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.

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

Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.

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.

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

It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.

I started out in the 'Cure' reflecting things that I thought were important, and it's reached a point where it takes over and becomes the thing that is important.

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 became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.

I've got a Facebook page, but I've never put anything on it. I've got a presence on all the social networks, in fact, but I've never once sent a message. I'm there because, otherwise, someone's going to pretend to be me.

The further I get from the things that I care about, the less I care about how much further away I get.

When you're in a young band for the first time, geographically you're in the same place and you tend to go out and socialize. You play more shows, you spend more time together. You're a unit. As you grow older, inevitably you develop a life outside the band. I think it would be tragic if you didn't.

I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.
Robert Smith

I entirely approve the measures proposed by you in relation to the Marines who are lately captives in Tripoli. Therefore execute them.
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.

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.
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.

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to 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.
