“When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist ...” — Robert Smith Quote

“When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.”

“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.”

“I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?”

“Sometimes if you get 'em too drunk they don't pay no attention to what you're doin' anyways, so you might as well just do old songs. But if you get one that's paying attention, sometimes we'll do some new material.”

“You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.”

“Nobody can write the life of a man but those who have eat and drunk and lived in social intercourse with him.”
