Quote

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.'

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

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.

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.

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

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 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.

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.
Robert Smith
Image
Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.
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.

I entirely approve the measures proposed by you in relation to the Marines who are lately captives in Tripoli. Therefore execute them.

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.

In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.
Robert Smith

I think that if you become a parent, you stop being a child, and your position in relation to your parents changes.

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.

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 do a job I really, really love and I kind of have fun with. People think you can't be grown up unless you're moaning about your job.
