It's really nice meeting people after a concert. Still, it's very weird to be at the center of a group of 30 people all listening to what you're saying. When that group turns into 300 people, it goes on from weird. Some people revel in it, and I don't.

I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.

I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.

I started out in the 'Cure' reflecting things that I thought were important, and it's reached a point where it takes over and becomes the thing that is important.

I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.

There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.

Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.
