You Don't Really Know A Song Until

It's Only People That Aren't Goths That Think The Cure Are A Goth Band.

There Were Only Two Times In My Life When I've Actually Felt Down About Things And Gotten Myself Into A Full Mental Mess. One Of The Times Was In 1982. I Had A Horrible Time For A Few Months And Felt Pretty Desperate. Then Again In 1984, For Various Reasons, Not All Of Them Within My Control. Since Then, I Just Wander In And Out Of Black Moods.

It's Really Nice Meeting People After A Concert. Still, It's Very Weird To Be At The Center Of A Group Of 30 People All Listening To What You're Saying. When That Group Turns Into 300 People, It Goes On From Weird. Some People Revel In It, And I Don't.

Whenever I'm Home, I Haven't Got Any Makeup On. But Even In The Studio, Before I Do Vocals, I Put Makeup On.

The Very First Concert I Ever Went To On My Own Was Actually Rory Gallagher. In A One-month Period In 1973 Or '74, I Saw Him, Thin Lizzy And The Rolling Stones. I Wasn't Really A Big Rory Gallagher Fan, But I Thought His Guitar Playing Was Fabulous. But Thin Lizzy, They Were Fabulous.
