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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.

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 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 rather spend my time looking at the sky than listening to Whitney Houston.

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 think the rock'n'roll myth of living on the edge is a pile of crap.
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.

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