If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.

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

My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool's like - it's nothing like I imagined it was as a child.

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

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.

I just don't feel comfortable anymore with the kind of attention that I'm getting. It's purely the numbers of people that want a bit of the Cure or want a bit of me.

In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.
