I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.

I'm not really obsessed with death.

I'm not going to worry about the Cure slipping down into the second division; it doesn't bother me because I never expected to be in the first division anyway.

I honestly don’t class myself as a songwriter. I’ve got ‘musician’ written on my passport. That’s even funnier.

If I put a value on my music, and no one’s prepared to pay that, then more fool me, but the idea that the value is created by the consumer is an idiot plan; it can’t work.

I’d like to record somewhere really different. Rent a really big house and get a mobile in and set up in the dining room. Maybe New England; it’d be nice in September or October.

You know, the Internets made us more aware of what people think about us.

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.

Living, it’s awful for me.

My whole life I’ve played music for my own personal enjoyment and the idea of it becoming a machine or a business is just horrible.
