More quotes by Robert Smith
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
I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.
Robert Smith
I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?
Robert Smith

Robert Smith
It's better to forget than remember me and cry.

Robert Smith
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
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
Hendrix was the first person I had come across who seemed completely free, and when you're nine or 10, your life is entirely dominated by adults. So he represented this thing that I wanted to be. Hendrix was the first person who made me think it might be good to be a singer and a guitarist - before that I wanted to be a footballer.
Robert Smith
There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.
Robert Smith
Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.
Robert Smith
