“Nobody notices me. Nobody thinks I'm me. But then I look less like me ...” — Robert Smith Quote

“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 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.”

“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.”

“When I do concerts and recitals, the two most common requests are spirituals and opera.”

“I've been told by a lot of people after concerts that they felt the show was just for them. And I try to make it that way.”

“I was lucky enough to get to perform on stage in front of 20 million people on TV, and 150 thousand in concerts. For 15 minutes I got to be a rock star, the 15 minutes is great! It turns into Spinal Tap after 20 minutes.”
