The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.

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

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'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.'

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

There were only two times in my life when I've actually felt down about things and gotten myself into a full mental mess. One of the times was in 1982. I had a horrible time for a few months and felt pretty desperate. Then again in 1984, for various reasons, not all of them within my control. Since then, I just wander in and out of black moods.

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.

B is for Breasts Of which ladies have two Once prized for the function, Now for the view.

I don't want The Cure to fizzle out doing 45-minute shows of greatest hits. That would be awful for our legacy.

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

Image
I still frequent my parents' house. I go there to escape, back to the bedroom that I grew up in. Just to sit there and feel small.

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 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 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.
