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

No, come to think of it, I don't think the Cure will end, but I can make up an ending if you want me to.
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 think the rock'n'roll myth of living on the edge is a pile of crap.
Robert Smith
Image
I just don't feel comfortable anymore with the kind of attention that I'm getting. It's purely the numbers of people that want a bit of the Cure or want a bit of me.
Robert Smith
Image
I entirely approve the measures proposed by you in relation to the Marines who are lately captives in Tripoli. Therefore execute them.
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
I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter.

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'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.

You don't really know a song until you play it live.

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
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 am very self-conscious a lot of the time.

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 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.
Robert Smith
Image
I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.

I have never liked Morrissey, and I still don't. I think it's hilarious, actually, what things I've heard about him, what he's really like, and his public persona is so different. He's such an actor.

Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.

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.
