"That's what I like about Smithy, he's a very paradoxical character. Everything he is, he isn't. He's very pretentious but he isn't. He`s always black yet he's white and The Cure are one of the stupidest bands you could ever work with yet they're the brightest, the most intelligent. They're the noisest but they can be the quietest - that's what I love about them. Robert says he's like a child but he isn't, he's too intelligent."
Tim Pope, 1986

At a concert in Adelaide AU he stopped midway through a song and told the audience he had a funny thought "A dyslexic devil worshipper sold his soul to Santa", and just picked up and continued where they left off.

@astralbeast8177 2 года назад

I love how he wants to be funny and silly but he's so generally anxious that he always just ditches and goes back to being straight faced. It's hard to articulate but as someone with a similar disposition its very easy to notice.

@astralbeast8177 2 года назад

The fidgeting and awkward motions give it away big time.

@rotmgdabeatz 2 года назад

Yes i think so too. People might label as thats just how he chooses to present himself, but honestly it just comes down to being awkward. But its very refreshing to see that from someone who is supposed to be a cocky rockstar

@freezedriedzombi8242 Год назад

same here. Im the same way, I wasthinking this as well. I really appreciate artists that you can relate to. Makes the music so much more meaningful, cause you can relate in a way to what they are saying. and see yourself in the music

Oh he is fake and possessed. He doesn't even believe any of it is real himself and he knows non of it is his. He tells you that in his lyrics. And he is all about impressing people. It's why he sold his soul. Watch and listen. You don't even need to read between the lines.

Robert is absolutely beautiful. And I often just smile watching interview with him. Love his dry sense of humour, body language and good energy. But, Robert, people who cannot swim not necessarily will swim when you throw them into water. My acquaintance told me how she went to bottom of river like a stone, when her friends threw her on depth. They jumped to save her then.

Robert is amazing, but the ‘everybody can swim’ claim isn’t true. I did what he said when I was 8 years old and nearly passed out and drowned. I was rescued and told off very harshly by a racist swim pool guard who probably would’ve left me to drown if other witnesses weren’t around.
