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

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.

See the ridiculous in everything.

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

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

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

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.
