Robert Smith Quotes

Living, it’s awful for me Picture Quote #1

It’s better to forget than remember me and cry Picture Quote #1

It’s a perfect day for letting go Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

I married somebody who likes the way I look. If I changed my hair every year, and I reinvented myself in time-honoured pop fashion, I think understandably the person I’m married to would grow slightly sick of me Picture Quote #1

I’ve got a Facebook page, but I’ve never put anything on it. I’ve got a presence on all the social networks, in fact, but I’ve never once sent a message. I’m there because, otherwise, someone’s going to pretend to be me Picture Quote #1

You know, the Internets made us more aware of what people think about us Picture Quote #1

Hendrix was the first person I had come across who seemed completely free, and when you’re nine or 10, your life is entirely dominated by adults. So he represented this thing that I wanted to be. Hendrix was the first person who made me think it might be good to be a singer and a guitarist - before that I wanted to be a footballer Picture Quote #1

Both me and my wife’s extended family all live within a 50-mile radius. Like me, a lot of them did time in London then started drifting back to the countryside and the sea. Perhaps it’s a homing instinct Picture Quote #1

Irony is the recourse of the weak-minded wimp, I think. I hate bands that deliver their songs with knowing smiles on their faces, so that if those songs fall flat they can say ‘Ah well, we never really meant it anyway.’ It’s so dishonest Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When punk came along, I found my generation’s music. I grew up listening to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd, ‘cause that was what got played in the house. But when I first saw the Stranglers, I thought, ‘This is it.’ Picture Quote #1

In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that’s where the impossible wishes come into it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The idea of appealing to people of a like mind and like spirit always appealed to me Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There were only two times in my life when I’ve actually felt down about things and gotten myself into a full mental mess. One of the times was in 1982. I had a horrible time for a few months and felt pretty desperate. Then again in 1984, for various reasons, not all of them within my control. Since then, I just wander in and out of black moods Picture Quote #1

People think it’s funny that I enjoy dreaming so much. I just use it as a form of entertainment. It’s very private. I don’t see my dreams as separate. I mean, half the time I’m wandering around dreaming anyway Picture Quote #1

Reading is something I’ve really missed, not being able to enter people’s worlds Picture Quote #1

Performing doesn’t come that naturally to me, even though I’ve done it for years Picture Quote #1

When you’re in a young band for the first time, geographically you’re in the same place and you tend to go out and socialize. You play more shows, you spend more time together. You’re a unit. As you grow older, inevitably you develop a life outside the band. I think it would be tragic if you didn’t Picture Quote #1

I had every intention of ‘Bloodflowers’ being the last Cure record. I thought it would be fantastic to finish with the best thing we’d ever done, but I wasn’t sure we could pull it off Picture Quote #1

If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I’d disband the group immediately Picture Quote #1

If I book a hotel it’s actually very funny. It’s very nice to be a genuine Mr Smith Picture Quote #1

I get a much more extreme reaction when I have my hair really short. I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I’m going to jump the counter. It’s a much more extreme reaction Picture Quote #1

Living, it's awful for me Picture Quote #1

The idea of reinvention has always seemed bizarre to me Picture Quote #1

Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds Picture Quote #1
