makeup years people
Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
home makeup havens
Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.
school makeup thinking
I wore makeup when I was at school, and I wore makeup when glam started. I started wearing it again when punk started. I've always been drawn to wearing it. It's partly ritualistic, partly theatrical and partly just because I think I look better with it on.
moving makeup special
I've discovered special makeup by a company called M.A.C. You could wear it on the surface of the sun and it wouldn't move.
discovered special surface wear

goes
See if it goes through. If they say 'No,' go elsewhere.
pretend sent
I've got a presence on all the social networks, in fact, but I've never once sent a message. I'm there because otherwise, someone's going to pretend to be me.
best cure fantastic intention pull sure
I had every intention of 'Bloodflowers' being the last Cure record. I thought it would be fantastic to finish with the best thing we'd ever done, but I wasn't sure we could pull it off.
amount certain older stop tend written
The problem as you get older is, from my perspective, after a certain amount of songs, you tend to start writing something and then you stop and say, 'Wait, I think I've written that before.'
people
You put on eyeliner, and people start screaming at you. How strange, and how marvellous.
far quite time
I'm happy quite a lot of the time. I've done far more than I ever thought I would have, so I'd be very hard-pressed to walk around miserable.
felt repressed time
Whatever I was doing, even when I was at school, I never repressed anything that I felt. I wasn't flamboyant; I was actually quite reticent most of the time. But if I felt I had to do something, I did it.
faith rid
Without faith that there's a world beyond the one we live in, I don't see how it's possible to get rid of angst.
people
I despise people who revel in the ignorance of not being able to play their instrument.
