I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.
Robert Smith
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.

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

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.

Image
In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.
Robert Smith
Image
I married somebody who likes the way I look. If I changed my hair every year, and I reinvented myself in time-honoured pop fashion, I think understandably the person I'm married to would grow slightly sick of me.

Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Never trust the umpire.
Robert Smith
Image
Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.
Robert Smith
Image
I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.
Robert Smith
Image
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'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 could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?
Robert Smith
Image
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
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.

You know, the Internet's made us more aware of what people think about us.
