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'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.

Image
I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

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 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.

No, come to think of it, I don't think the Cure will end, but I can make up an ending if you want me to.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

For a period in the '90s, I felt that the Cure was massively undervalued. But there has been a paradigm shift. There's a bunch of newer bands coming up who've grown up listening to the Cure and don't understand that you're not supposed to like us.

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 think that if you become a parent, you stop being a child, and your position in relation to your parents changes.

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.

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

I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.

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.
