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

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.

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

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

Both me and my wife's extended family all live within a 50-mile radius. Like me, a lot of them did time in London then started drifting back to the countryside and the sea. Perhaps it's a homing instinct.

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

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