people
You put on eyeliner, and people start screaming at you. How strange, and how marvellous.
people
I despise people who revel in the ignorance of not being able to play their instrument.
appealed appealing mind people spirit
The idea of appealing to people of a like mind and like spirit always appealed to me.
allow consider otherwise people
You can't allow other people to put a price on what you do, otherwise you don't consider what you do to have any value at all, and that's nonsense.
extreme head jump people reaction shave wear
I get a much more extreme reaction when I have my hair really short. I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter. It's a much more extreme reaction.
dreaming dreams enjoy form funny half people time wandering
People think it's funny that I enjoy dreaming so much. I just use it as a form of entertainment. It's very private. I don't see my dreams as separate. I mean, half the time I'm wandering around dreaming anyway.
technology ideas people
I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age, my generation, find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.
thinking people want
I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.
reading people able
Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.
thinking people looks
I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter.
numbers people want
I just don't feel comfortable anymore with the kind of attention that I'm getting. It's purely the numbers of people that want a bit of the Cure or want a bit of me.
thinking people internet
You know, the Internets made us more aware of what people think about us
nice people listening
It's really nice meeting people after a concert. Still, it's very weird to be at the center of a group of 30 people all listening to what you're saying. When that group turns into 300 people, it goes on from weird. Some people revel in it, and I don't.
makeup years people
Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.
