Robert Smith Is A Whingebag.

I Think Labels For The Most Part Want To Sign New Discoveries So That That Label Alone Is Seen To Be Responsible For The Rise Of The Artist. Not Many Labels Want Bands Who Have Already Made Their Mark, Because Their Success Is Usually Attributed To Some Other Label Somewhere Else At Another Time.

It's The Refuge For The Mentally Deficient. It's Made By Dull People For Dull People.

I First Bought A Buffy Sainte-marie Record When I Was 12, And Her Music Has Always Remained With Me. In The 1960s, As A Political Activist, Buffy's Lyrics Were Fearless, And I'm Very Grateful For All The Risks That She Took.

I Find That It Isn't Wise To Attempt To Judge People On Their Public Persona, And Even On The Music They Make. Because I've Met So Many People Whose Music I Cannot Stand, And They're Very Nice. At The Same Time, I've Met People Whose Music I've Loved, And They're Not The Person You've Invested All This Emotion In.

I Believe The Nme Have Deliberately Tried To Characterise Me As A Racist In A Recent Interview In Order To Boost Their Circulation. I Abhor Racism And Cruelty Of Any Kind And Will Not Let This Pass.
