I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.

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

Image
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.

Image
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.

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.

Sometimes I'll get to the end of a song, open my eyes and there's all these faces peering at me. It's quite horrifying.

My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool's like - it's nothing like I imagined it was as a child.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.

I've discovered special makeup by a company called M.A.C. You could wear it on the surface of the sun and it wouldn't move.

Image
I think the rock'n'roll myth of living on the edge is a pile of crap.
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 am very self-conscious a lot of the time.

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