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
Image
I don't care where the Cure is placed in the pantheon of rock. I don't care if we're perceived as relevant. We're never worried how we fit in. I don't even want to fit in.

You don't really know a song until you play it live.

Image
The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.
Robert Smith
Image
There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.

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

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.

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.

I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter.

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 am very self-conscious a lot of the time.
Robert Smith
Image
It's better to forget than remember me and cry.
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.
Robert Smith
Image
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
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 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.

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.

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

I'd like to record somewhere really different. Rent a really big house and get a mobile in and set up in the dining room. Maybe New England it'd be nice in September or October.
