 I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another. |
| I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it. |
| I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us. |
| 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. |
| No, come to think of it, I don't think the Cure will end, but I can make up an ending if you want me to. |
| But everyone I know reaches a point where they throw out their arms and go beserk for a while; otherwise you never know what your limits are. I was just trying to find mine. |
| Sometimes I'll get to the end of a song, open my eyes and there's all these faces peering at me. It's quite horrifying. |
| Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up. |
| I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine. |
| When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs. |
| Like I can't cry for myself so I will let this song take all of the things inside I can't let anyone else see and offer it up, as if the sound were some kind of god, and my pain is some kind of sacrifice. |
| I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point? |
| There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off. |
| I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there. |
| Each time I play a song it seems more real. |
| You can't drink on an eight hour flight, pass out, and then go onstage... well you can, but then you're Spandau Ballet. |
| You know, the Internets made us more aware of what people think about us. |
| I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore. |
| You don't really know a song until you play it live. |
| Nobody notices me. Nobody thinks I'm me. But then I look less like me than most of the people coming to our concerts. |
