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

Nobody notices me. Nobody thinks I'm me. But then I look less like me than most of the people coming to our concerts.

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.

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

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

I started out in the 'Cure' reflecting things that I thought were important, and it's reached a point where it takes over and becomes the thing that is important.

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.
