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

I don't dislike my peers because they're still around and remind me of what I'm doing. I never liked them anyway. I never liked U2, the things they've done over the years.

I have never liked Morrissey, and I still don't. I think it's hilarious, actually, what things I've heard about him, what he's really like, and his public persona is so different. He's such an actor.

Each time I play a song it seems more real.

I think, at heart, unless you discover faith in something else, something other, it's very hard to shake the thing that you're adrift alone.

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.
