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.

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

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
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
Robert Smith
Image
In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith
Image
Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

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.

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
Image
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.
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
Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.
Robert Smith
Image
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.
Robert Smith
Image
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.
Robert Smith
Image
I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.
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
I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.
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
I don't want The Cure to fizzle out doing 45-minute shows of greatest hits. That would be awful for our legacy.
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.
