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.

Robert Smith

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 never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.
Robert Smith

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

It's only people that aren't goths that think the Cure are a goth band.

Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.
