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.
From Robert Smith
I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.
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.
I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.
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.
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.
Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.
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 can't allow other people to put a price on what you do, otherwise you don't consider what you do to have any value at all, and that's nonsense.
I'm not a morose person; it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.
