I don't want The Cure to fizzle out doing 45-minute shows of greatest hits. That would be awful for our legacy.

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

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.

I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age, my generation, find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.

Everything I do has the tinge of the finite, of my own demise. At some point you either accept death or you just keep pushing it back as you get older and older. I've accepted it.

I think that if you become a parent, you stop being a child, and your position in relation to your parents changes.

It's better to forget than remember me and cry.
