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 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.

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.

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

Image
I'm not a morose person it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.
Robert Smith

I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?

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

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.

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
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.

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

Image
If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.
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 on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.
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
The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.
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.

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.
