Quote

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.

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.'

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

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.

I'd like to record somewhere really different. Rent a really big house and get a mobile in and set up in the dining room. Maybe New England it'd be nice in September or October.

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

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

It's a perfect day for letting go.

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.

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

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 lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

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