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

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
There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.
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.
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.
