I don't know anyone who knows anyone. I don't go out anywhere. I don't mix with people who think it's in anyway important that I'm in a group. I don't see the Cure as a means to an end. It just seems to take control very subtly.
Someone gets an idea to do something.
Then it escalates and before we know it, we're doing our biggest tour for ten years. Suddenly we're doing Top Of The Pops again and it makes me feel completely ridiculous because none of it seems real. The I look at myself doing it and it looks completely wrong, and that makes me happy. The Cure go away and come back an nothing is quite the same. They scored their biggest hit to date with Lullaby and a BBC producer tells them that they can not appear on Top Of The Pops with Robert Smith smeared in loud makeup.
