I don't want The Cure to fizzle out doing 45-minute shows of greatest hits. That would be awful for our legacy.

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

My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool's like - it's nothing like I imagined it was as a child.

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

I just don't feel comfortable anymore with the kind of attention that I'm getting. It's purely the numbers of people that want a bit of the Cure or want a bit of me.

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.

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

I've discovered special makeup by a company called M.A.C. You could wear it on the surface of the sun and it wouldn't move.

It's a perfect day for letting go.

I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.

I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

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.

Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.
