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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

If I put a value on my music, and no one's prepared to pay that, then more fool me, but the idea that the value is created by the consumer is an idiot plan it can't work.
Robert Smith
Image
I'm not a morose person it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.
Robert Smith
Image
I entirely approve the measures proposed by you in relation to the Marines who are lately captives in Tripoli. Therefore execute them.

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

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.

Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
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.
Robert Smith
Image
There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.
