You know, the Internet's made us more aware of what people think about us.

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.

Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.
Robert Smith
Image
I'm in the strange position of the world drifting away from me, but you know what? I'm actually quite content with that. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't feel like, 'Oh God, I'm being left behind.'

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.

When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.

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

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

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.

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

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.

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
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.
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'm not a morose person it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.

There were only two times in my life when I've actually felt down about things and gotten myself into a full mental mess. One of the times was in 1982. I had a horrible time for a few months and felt pretty desperate. Then again in 1984, for various reasons, not all of them within my control. Since then, I just wander in and out of black moods.

I think that if you become a parent, you stop being a child, and your position in relation to your parents changes.
Robert Smith

I still frequent my parents' house. I go there to escape, back to the bedroom that I grew up in. Just to sit there and feel small.
