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.

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.

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

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

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

There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.
