More quotes by Robert Smith

Image
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.

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.

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

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

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.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

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.

I don't want The Cure to fizzle out doing 45-minute shows of greatest hits. That would be awful for our legacy.
Robert Smith
Image
I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith
Image
It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.
Robert Smith
Image
I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.
Robert Smith
Image
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
Robert Smith
Image
I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.

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

When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.
Robert Smith
Image
I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.
Robert Smith
Image
I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?
Robert Smith
Image
Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
