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

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.

There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.

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'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'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.

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

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

I'd rather spend my time looking at the sky than listening to Whitney Houston.

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.

Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Never trust the umpire.

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

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.
