Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

I still frequent my parents' house. I go there to escape, back to the bedroom that I grew up in. Just to sit there and feel small.

It's really nice meeting people after a concert. Still, it's very weird to be at the center of a group of 30 people all listening to what you're saying. When that group turns into 300 people, it goes on from weird. Some people revel in it, and I don't.

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

I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.

Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.

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.
