Anyone can rehearse and play constantly any song in the world.

I've got a Facebook page, but I've never put anything on it. I've got a presence on all the social networks, in fact, but I've never once sent a message. I'm there because, otherwise, someone's going to pretend to be me.

Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.

The further I get from the things that I care about, the less I care about how much further away I get.

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.

If I book a hotel it's actually very funny. It's very nice to be a genuine Mr Smith.

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.
