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.

There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.

You can't drink on an eight hour flight, pass out, and then go onstage... well you can, but then you're Spandau Ballet.

I started out in the 'Cure' reflecting things that I thought were important, and it's reached a point where it takes over and becomes the thing that is important.

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

I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.

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