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

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 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.

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

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

Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Never trust the umpire.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

I'm not going to worry about the Cure slipping down into the second division it doesn't bother me because I never expected to be in the first division anyway

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.

I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter.

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.

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 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.

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.
