I still frequent my parents' house. I go there to escape, back to the bedroom that I grew up in. Just to sit there and feel small.

You don't really know a song until you play it live.

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

For a period in the '90s, I felt that the Cure was massively undervalued. But there has been a paradigm shift. There's a bunch of newer bands coming up who've grown up listening to the Cure and don't understand that you're not supposed to like us.

Cardinal rule for all hitters with two strikes on them: Never trust the umpire.

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

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.
