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.

Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.
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
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.
Robert Smith
Image
It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.
Robert Smith
Image
There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.
Robert Smith
Image
In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.
Robert Smith
Image
When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.

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'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.

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.
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.'
Robert Smith
Image
You know, the Internet's made us more aware of what people think about us.
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.
Robert Smith
Image
I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age, my generation, find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.
Robert Smith
Image
There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.
Robert Smith
Image
I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith

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.

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.

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.
