I've never regretted not having children. My mindset in that regard has been constant. I objected to being born, and I refuse to impose life on someone else.

It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.

I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.

I'm not a morose person; it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.

It's only people that aren't goths that think the Cure are a goth band.

I married somebody who likes the way I look. If I changed my hair every year, and I reinvented myself in time-honoured pop fashion, I think understandably the person I'm married to would grow slightly sick of me.
