Quotes By Robert Smith

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 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.

If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.
