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 look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter.

My whole life I've played music for my own personal enjoyment and the idea of it becoming a machine or a business is just horrible.

See the ridiculous in everything.

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.

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

Living, it's awful for me.
