Robert Smith

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.

I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age, my generation, find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.

I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.

There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off.

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