Without faith that there's a world beyond the one we live in, I don't see how it's possible to get rid of angst.
From Robert Smith
Apart from the fact that I've got a strange job, I do lead a fairly normal life. I do my own shopping. I don't feel constrained by who I am because of what I do; I often feel disappointed by my lack of ability. I get frustrated at myself, but I think everyone does.
I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.
You don't really know a song until you play it live.
There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.
Each time I play a song it seems more real.
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.
It has always seemed slightly uncomfortable, the idea of politicised musicians. Very few of them are clever enough to do it; if they're good at the political side, the music side suffers, and vice versa.
