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 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.

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

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.

I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.

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.

For a period in the '90s, I felt that the Cure was massively undervalued. But there has been a paradigm shift. There's a bunch of newer bands coming up who've grown up listening to the Cure and don't understand that you're not supposed to like us.
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.

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.

It's a perfect day for letting go.

A lot of journalists give me a hard time about how I look, but I've never met a journalist I'd rather look like.

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 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.

If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.

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.

It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.

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

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