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.

Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.

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 think, at heart, unless you discover faith in something else, something other, it's very hard to shake the thing that you're adrift alone.

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.

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.

I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.

There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.
Robert Smith

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

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.

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.

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