Quote

I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.

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.
Kurt Cobain

I have to admit I've found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I'm pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.
