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

Apart from the fact that I've got a strange job, I do lead a fairly normal life. I do my own shopping. I don't feel constrained by who I am because of what I do; I often feel disappointed by my lack of ability. I get frustrated at myself, but I think everyone does.

I don't want The Cure to fizzle out doing 45-minute shows of greatest hits. That would be awful for our legacy.

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

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

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

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