More quotes by Robert Smith
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 only people that aren't goths that think the Cure are a goth band.

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.

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.
Robert Smith
Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.
Robert Smith
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
Robert Smith
I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.
Robert Smith
The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.
Robert Smith
It's better to forget than remember me and cry.
Robert Smith
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
It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.
Robert Smith
There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.

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.
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.

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.
