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.
I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?
I'm not a morose person; it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.
Sometimes I'll get to the end of a song, open my eyes and there's all these faces peering at me. It's quite horrifying.
Apart from the fact that I've got a strange job, I do lead a fairly normal life. I do my own shopping. I don't feel constrained by who I am because of what I do; I often feel disappointed by my lack of ability. I get frustrated at myself, but I think everyone does.
Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
I've discovered special makeup by a company called M.A.C. You could wear it on the surface of the sun and it wouldn't move.
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.
I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.
Every animal would rather die themselves than lose their offspring. But it's just genes, isn't it? All of our existence is spent worrying about the next generation, but we don't actually seem to get anywhere.
I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.
I think, at heart, unless you discover faith in something else, something other, it's very hard to shake the thing that you're adrift alone.
Everything I do has the tinge of the finite, of my own demise. At some point you either accept death or you just keep pushing it back as you get older and older. I've accepted it.
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.
I have never liked Morrissey, and I still don't. I think it's hilarious, actually, what things I've heard about him, what he's really like, and his public persona is so different. He's such an actor.
I never liked Queen. I can honestly say I hated Queen and everything that they did.
I'm in the strange position of the world drifting away from me, but you know what? I'm actually quite content with that. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't feel like, 'Oh God, I'm being left behind.'
Nobody notices me. Nobody thinks I'm me. But then I look less like me than most of the people coming to our concerts.
I really enjoy what I do, and who I'm with and where I am. Having said that, I'm not really a person of habit, because what I do in my job is travel around the world and play concerts to people, and occasionally do very weird things.
The very first concert I ever went to on my own was actually Rory Gallagher. In a one-month period in 1973 or '74, I saw him, Thin Lizzy and the Rolling Stones. I wasn't really a big Rory Gallagher fan, but I thought his guitar playing was fabulous. But Thin Lizzy, they were fabulous.
I write with a pen and paper. Never on a laptop.
Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.
Each time I play a song it seems more real.
True repentance has a double aspect. It looks upon things past with a weeping eye, and upon the future with a watchful eye.
No, come to think of it, I don't think the Cure will end, but I can make up an ending if you want me to.
