Robert Smith Quotes

English - Musician | April 21, 1959 -

I'd like to record somewhere really different. Rent a really big house and get a mobile in and set up in the dining room. Maybe New England; it'd be nice in September or October.

House Be Nice New Nice Dining Rent

My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool's like - it's nothing like I imagined it was as a child.

Memories Beach Child Back Know Like

I have never liked Morrissey, and I still don't. I think it's hilarious, actually, what things I've heard about him, what he's really like, and his public persona is so different. He's such an actor.

Think Actor Never Him Things Still

Family Live Sea Time Wife Me

A lot of journalists give me a hard time about how I look, but I've never met a journalist I'd rather look like.

Time Me Look Never Hard Give Me

I'm not a morose person; it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.

Life Best Person Reflect Just Songs

Hendrix was the first person I had come across who seemed completely free, and when you're nine or 10, your life is entirely dominated by adults. So he represented this thing that I wanted to be. Hendrix was the first person who made me think it might be good to be a singer and a guitarist - before that I wanted to be a footballer.

Life Good Me Free Think You

I would be more familiar with Janet Jackson than I was with the Teardrop Explodes or Joy Division, because I didn't want to listen to my competitors for fear of nicking ideas off them.

Fear Joy Ideas Want Listen More
