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

Both me and my wife's extended family all live within a 50-mile radius. Like me, a lot of them did time in London then started drifting back to the countryside and the sea. Perhaps it's a homing instinct.

I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.

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.

The very first concert I ever went to on my own was actually Rory Gallagher. In a one-month period in 1973 or '74, I saw him, Thin Lizzy and the Rolling Stones. I wasn't really a big Rory Gallagher fan, but I thought his guitar playing was fabulous. But Thin Lizzy, they were fabulous.

I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.

It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.
