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

I think the rock'n'roll myth of living on the edge is a pile of crap.

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.

If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.

I don't care where the Cure is placed in the pantheon of rock. I don't care if we're perceived as relevant. We're never worried how we fit in. I don't even want to fit in.

If you feel alienated from people around you, it's because no one tries to understand you.
