I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.
If you feel alienated from people around you, it's because no one tries to understand you.
Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.
See the ridiculous in everything.
In some cases, I quite like irritating people who need to be irritated.
It's a perfect day for letting go.
I'd rather spend my time looking at the sky than listening to Whitney Houston.
It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.
It's better to forget than remember me and cry.
I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.
B is for Breasts Of which ladies have two; Once prized for the function, Now for the view.
When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.
You don't really know a song until you play it live.
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.
I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.
Living, it's awful for me.
The further I get from the things that I care about, the less I care about how much further away I get.
You can't drink on an eight hour flight, pass out, and then go onstage... well you can, but then you're Spandau Ballet.
In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.
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.
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 wore makeup when I was at school, and I wore makeup when glam started. I started wearing it again when punk started. I've always been drawn to wearing it. It's partly ritualistic, partly theatrical and partly just because I think I look better with it on.
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.
Everything I do has the tinge of the finite, of my own demise. At some point you either accept death or you just keep pushing it back as you get older and older. I've accepted it.
