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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Hendrix was the first person I had come across who seemed completely free, and when you're nine or 10, your life is entirely dominated by adults. So he represented this thing that I wanted to be. Hendrix was the first person who made me think it might be good to be a singer and a guitarist - before that I wanted to be a footballer.
