MAKE SOME NOISE

:: Robert Smith's Make Some Noise Interview ::

You're constantly told through the media that young people are apathetic. They're absolutely not; there's never been a time in history when young people were apathetic - they're the most
outrageously energetic people on the planet, but they just need to be involved in things that
entice them and excite them.

Being involved in Amnesty, over the last couple of years particularly, we've noticed how once people are introduced to what Amnesty is and the concepts behind it, they're enthralled by it - and this whole thing about "No one can be bothered to vote… no one can be bothered to do that… if I do it what difference will it make" is rubbish. One person is all it takes to make a difference.

In everyone's life there's a question of making your life your own, of doing something really positive
with it, and I know is sounds really weird from a band like the Cure, but in fact what we've
done down the years is exactly that - we've done exactly what we've wanted to do and we've
done it in such a way as to give other people pleasure and that's the essence of living a good life and that's the core of what Amnesty's all about.
