I'm not going to worry about the Cure slipping down into the second division; it doesn't bother me because I never expected to be in the first division anyway

Every animal would rather die themselves than lose their offspring. But it's just genes, isn't it? All of our existence is spent worrying about the next generation, but we don't actually seem to get anywhere.

It's only people that aren't goths that think the Cure are a goth band.

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

A lot of journalists give me a hard time about how I look, but I've never met a journalist I'd rather look like.

If you acquiesce to one interview, there's always another waiting in the wings. Also if you're interviewed repeatedly, you just start repeating yourself. I don't like to do that.

Nobody notices me. Nobody thinks I'm me. But then I look less like me than most of the people coming to our concerts.
