More quotes by Robert Smith
I'm not a morose person it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith
I think that if you become a parent, you stop being a child, and your position in relation to your parents changes.
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith
It's a perfect day for letting go.
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith
If I put a value on my music, and no one's prepared to pay that, then more fool me, but the idea that the value is created by the consumer is an idiot plan it can't work.
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith
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
I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.
Robert Smith
Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Never trust the umpire.
Robert Smith
I entirely approve the measures proposed by you in relation to the Marines who are lately captives in Tripoli. Therefore execute them.
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith
I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.
Robert Smith
It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.
Robert Smith
B is for Breasts Of which ladies have two Once prized for the function, Now for the view.
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith
When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.
Robert Smith
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.
Robert Smith
