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.

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

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.

It's only people that aren't goths that think the Cure are a goth band.

Image
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.

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

I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.

I think that if you become a parent, you stop being a child, and your position in relation to your parents changes.
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.
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.
Robert Smith
Image
If I put a value on my music, and no one's prepared to pay that, then more fool me, but the idea that the value is created by the consumer is an idiot plan it can't work.

Image
If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.
Robert Smith
Image
I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.
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.
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
It's a perfect day for letting go.

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

When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.

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

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