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.'

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.

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.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

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'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.

I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.

You don't really know a song until you play it live.

I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age, my generation, find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

It's only people that aren't goths that think the Cure are a goth band.

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.
Robert Smith
Image
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.

It's better to forget than remember me and cry.

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.
