I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.
Robert Smith

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

Image
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.

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.

Robert Smith
Image
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.

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

You know, the Internet's made us more aware of what people think about us.
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
If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.

I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.
Robert Smith
Image
No, come to think of it, I don't think the Cure will end, but I can make up an ending if you want me to.

Image
I do a job I really, really love and I kind of have fun with. People think you can't be grown up unless you're moaning about your job.
