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.

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.

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

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.

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 were only two times in my life when I've actually felt down about things and gotten myself into a full mental mess. One of the times was in 1982. I had a horrible time for a few months and felt pretty desperate. Then again in 1984, for various reasons, not all of them within my control. Since then, I just wander in and out of black moods.

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

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.

I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.

I think that if you become a parent, you stop being a child, and your position in relation to your parents changes.

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.

It's really nice meeting people after a concert. Still, it's very weird to be at the center of a group of 30 people all listening to what you're saying. When that group turns into 300 people, it goes on from weird. Some people revel in it, and I don't.

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.

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.
