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.

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 could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?

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

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

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

See the ridiculous in everything.
