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

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.

I'm in the strange position of the world drifting away from me, but you know what? I'm actually quite content with that. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't feel like, 'Oh God, I'm being left behind.'
Robert Smith
Image
I've never regretted not having children. My mindset in that regard has been constant. I objected to being born, and I refuse to impose life on someone else.

Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.

It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.
Robert Smith

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.

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

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

I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.

You can't drink on an eight hour flight, pass out, and then go onstage... well you can, but then you're Spandau Ballet.
