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

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

Living, it's awful for me.

But everyone I know reaches a point where they throw out their arms and go beserk for a while; otherwise you never know what your limits are. I was just trying to find mine.

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

Sometimes I'll get to the end of a song, open my eyes and there's all these faces peering at me. It's quite horrifying.

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.
