"I just don't like to get intimate. I don't want anyone to know what I feel and what I think, and if they can't get some kind of an idea of what sort of person I am through my music, then that's too bad."
"I wouldn't be surprised if I was voted most likely to kill everyone at a high school dance."
"I'm a spokesman for myself. It just so happens that there's a bunch of people that are concerned with what I have to say. I find that frightening at times because I'm just as confused as most people. I don't have the answers for anything. I don't want to be a fucking spokesperson."
"I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life."
"I'm kind of an example for people,and there are 9-year-old kids who are into our band, and if they think I take drugs and I think it's cool, then they are going to do it too."
"When we're backstage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowd begins, it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddy Mercurie, who seemed in love, relish in the love and adoration from the crowd, which is something I totally admire and envy." (from the "suicide" note)
"I'd rather hang out with the losers that would sit and smoke a cigarette than the ones who wanted to throw a baseball."
"Even the guys in the safety patrol called me faggot."
"Up until I was 9, I felt I could become a rock star or an astronaut or the president."
"My name is Kurt and I sing and play the guitar and I'm a walking, talking bacterial infection."
"In Aberdeen, I hated my friends with a passion, because they were idiots."
"Wearing a dress shows I can be as feminine as I want. I'm a heterosexual... big deal, but if I was a homosexual, it wouldn't matter, either."
I hate mum I hate dad Dad hates mum Mum hated dad I just want to make u feel so sad (Kurt's first poem)
"I definitely have a problem with the average macho man, because they've always been a threat to me."
ABOUT COURTNEY AND FRANCES
"It's like evian water and battery acid. I'm just happier than I've ever been. I've finally found someone that I'm totally compatible with. It doesn't matter whether she's a male, female or hermaphrodite or a donkey. We're compatible."
"I just want you people to know that Courtney Love, lead singer of the sensational pop group Hole, is the best fuck in the world."
"My wife challenges injustice and the reason her character has been so severely attacked is because she chooses not to function the way the white corporate man insists. His rules for women involve her being submissive, quiet, and non-challenging. When she doesn't follow his rules, the threatened man - who, incidentally, owns an army of devoted traitor women - gets scared." (from the Incesticide note)
"I knew that having a child I'd be overwhelmed and it's true... I can't tell you how much my attitude has changed since we've got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world."
ABOUT NIRVANA
"People ask me what's like to hear our song on the radio. I don't know, I don't listen to the radio."
"There's definitely some pieces in there that reflect on my personal life, but really, they aren't as personal as everybody thinks they are. I would like them to be more personal. The emotions, the songs themselves are personal. I can't do it - I've tried to write personally and it just doesn't seem to work. It would be too obvious. Some things that you could read in could fit into anyone's life that had any amount of pain at all. It's pretty cliché."
"I should just rerecord this record and do the same thing we did last year because we sold out last year - there's no reason to try to redeem ourselves as artists at this point. I can't help myself- I'm just putting out a record that I would like to listen to at home. I never listen to Nevermind. I haven't listened to it since we put it out. That says something. I can't stand that kind of production and I don't listen to bands that have that kind of production, no matter how good their songs are. It just bothers me."
"We've never cared much for professionalism as long as the energy was there. Like our live shows: We're out of tune and use a lot of feedback. That's not on purpose or because we don't care, we're just musically and rhythmically retarded and we play so hard that we can't tune our guitars fast enough."
"There are some pop songs I hate but I can't get them out of my head. Our songs also have the standard pop format: Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, bad solo."
"All in all, I think we sound like The Knack and the Bay City Rollers being molested by Black Flag and Black Sabbath."
"Hope I die before I turn into Pete Townshend. It would look ridiculous to do what we're doing now when I'm 40. That's why I want to destroy my career before it's too late."
ABOUT MUSIC
"All rock music is good as long as it has passion and feeling."
"Music is first, lyrics are secondary."
"I liked anything that was a little bit weird, a little bit different. I always went for the psychotic, weird, dingey bands."
"Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, nirvana means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock."
"What people don't realize is that the so-called Seattle grunge scene grew out of several close-knit gourmet supper clubs - we would only pick up guitars to pass the time while our dishes were simmering, baking, boiling, etc."
"You know what I hate about rock? I hate tie-dyed tee shirts. I wouldn't wear a tie-dyed tee shirt unless it was dyed with the urine of Phil Collins and the blood of Jerry Garcia."
ABOUT DRUGS
"All drugs are a waste of time.They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with your self-esteem....I've found they're a waste of time."
"I knew when I first started taking heroin that it would become boring, like marijuana, but you still have to do it, it becomes like breathing air."
"Anybody else who's going to get addicted to drugs are obviously going to fuck up their lives eventually. If it doesn't take a year, it will be next year. I've seen it happen with every person that gets strung out. Drugs are bad for you. They will fuck you up."
ABOUT DEATH
"If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying.Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got."
"It's better to burn out than to fade away." (from the "suicide note")
ABOUT LIFE
"Vandalism: beautiful as a rock in a cop's face."
"All my life, I never believed most things I read in history books and a lot of things I learned in school. But now I've found I don't have the right to make a judgment on someone based on something I've read. I don't have the right to judge anything. That's the lesson I've learned."
"My generation's apathy. I'm disgusted with it. I'm disgusted with my own apathy too, for being spineless and not always standing up against racism, sexism and all those other -isms the counterculture has been whining about for years."
ABOUT PEOPLE
"His role has been played for years. Ever since the beginning of rock and roll, there's been an Axl Rose. And it's just boring. It's totally boring to me. Why it's such a fresh and new thing in his eyes is obviously because it's happening to him personally and he's such an egotistical person that he thinks that the whole world owes him something."
"He's this good old boy from Texas, looks like he would like to beat my mom up, I just wanted to dance on top of his desk with a dress on and piss all over the place. Then he asked me 'So on that song Polly are you beatin' that bitch?', and I said 'Yes, I am.' we knew this wasn't the label (Capitol Records) for us."
"At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the fuck alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records." (from The Incesticide note)
"I know that most of you out there like us, understand what we're trying to say, but as for the rest of you, I fucking hate you!!"
"If you're a sexist, racist, homophobe or basically an asshole don't buy this CD, I don't care if you like me, I hate you!" "You know what I hate about rock? I hate tie-dyed tee shirts. I wouldn't wear a tie-dyed tee shirt unless it was dyed with the urine of Phil Collins and the blood of Jerry Garcia."
"At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the f*ck alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records."
"Our songs have the standard pop format: verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, bad solo. All in all we sound like the Knack and the Bay City Rollers being molested by Black Flag and Black Sabbath."
"I'm a walking talking bacterial infection!"
"Hope I die before I turn into Pete Townshend. It would look ridiculous to do what we're doing now when I'm 40. That's why I want to destroy my career before it's too late."
"I don't want to be a ____ing spokesperson."
"It is better to burn out then fade away "
"I'd rather hang out with the losers that would sit and smoke a cigarette than the ones who wanted to throw a baseball."
"The worst crime I could think of would be to pull people off by faking it, pretending as if I'm having 100% fun.."
"I had a good marriage, and for that I'm grateful. But since the age of seven I have become hateful toward all humans in general only because it seems so easy for people to get along that have empathy."
"I never wanted the fame in any of this. But that is a whole different story."
"Even the guys in the safety patrol called me 'faggot'."
"Up until I was 9, I felt I could become a rock star or an astronaut or the president"
"I respect people who promote the way they feel sexually"
"My songs have always had frustrating themes-relationships I've had"
"There is nothing i like more than pure underground music"
"I don't want my daughter to grow up and someday be hassled by kids at school...I don't want people telling her that her parents were junkies"
"Wearing a dress shows I can be as feminine as I want. I'm a heterosexual...big deal, but if I was a homosexual, it wouldn't matter, either."
"VANDALISM: as beautiful as a rock in a cop's face."
"I have to hear rumors about me all the time. I'm totally f*cking sick of it."
"All my life, I never believed most things I read in history books and a lot of things I learned in school. But now I've found I don't have the right to make a judgment on someone based on something I've read. I don't have the right to judge anything. That's the lesson I've learned"
"We were the chosen rejects, we were the ones who weren't picked for the sports teams and the ones who liked to smoke cigarettes and listen to rock. "
"ALL ROCK MUSIC IS GOOD AS LONG AS IT HAS PASSION AND FEELING"
"I love everyone too much which makes me sad"
"Life is what you make of it, it's your crossword puzzle"
