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

But everyone I know reaches a point where they throw out their arms and go beserk for a while; otherwise you never know what your limits are. I was just trying to find mine.

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

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.

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

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.

If I put a value on my music, and no one's prepared to pay that, then more fool me, but the idea that the value is created by the consumer is an idiot plan; it can't work.
