Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.

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.

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

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.'

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.

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 am very self-conscious a lot of the time.

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.

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.

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

Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Never trust the umpire.

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.

The further I get from the things that I care about, the less I care about how much further away I get.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

I think the rock'n'roll myth of living on the edge is a pile of crap.
