Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.

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.

When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.

I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

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

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.

It has always seemed slightly uncomfortable, the idea of politicised musicians. Very few of them are clever enough to do it; if they're good at the political side, the music side suffers, and vice versa.
