Robert Smith is a whingebag.

The Smiths was an incredibly personal thing to me. It was like launching your own diary to music.

They said they respect me, which means, their judgment is crazy.

Not everybody is absolutely stupid. Why on earth would I be racist, what would I be trying to achieve?

I was driving my car, I crashed and broke my spine. So yes there are things worse in life than never being someone's sweetie.

I didn't really see the British punk movement, if that's what it was, as wildly original, because I had been listening so intently to all the New York music since 1973, really.

I find shoes difficult to be ethical about.
