Living, it's awful for me.

See the ridiculous in everything.

It's a perfect day for letting go.

I'm not really obsessed with death.

I just play Cure music, whatever that is.

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

Each time I play a song it seems more real.

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

I write with a pen and paper. Never on a laptop.

I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.

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

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me.

You don't always have to sing dark things to be thoughtful.

Anyone can rehearse and play constantly any song in the world.

I think the rock'n'roll myth of living on the edge is a pile of crap.

They may not like us, but they can't get away from knowing who we are.

In some cases, I quite like irritating people who need to be irritated.

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

You know, the Internets made us more aware of what people think about us.

You know, the Internet's made us more aware of what people think about us.

There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.

I'd rather spend my time looking at the sky than listening to Whitney Houston.

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

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

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

I never liked Queen. I can honestly say I hated Queen and everything that they did.

If I book a hotel it's actually very funny. It's very nice to be a genuine Mr Smith.

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

The idea of appealing to people of a like mind and like spirit always appealed to me.

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

I despise people who revel in the ignorance of not being able to play their instrument.

I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?

You put on eyeliner, and people start screaming at you. How strange, and how marvellous.

When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.

If you feel alienated from people around you, it's because no one tries to understand you.

B is for Breasts Of which ladies have two; Once prized for the function, Now for the view.

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

I'm not a morose person; it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.

There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.

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

I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.

The further I get from the things that I care about, the less I care about how much further away I get.

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

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

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.

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

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

Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.
