I don't want to be a spokesperson.
Kurt Cobain
Image
It must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasms I once had as a child.
Kurt Cobain
Image
I'm all for stage diving, but just don't step on my pedals
Kurt Cobain
Image
I like to complain and do nothing to make things better.
Kurt Cobain
Image
Humans are stupid. I'm ashamed to be human.
Kurt Cobain

There's nothing better than having a baby. I've always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had 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.

My songs have always been frustrating themes, relationships that I've had. And now that I'm in love, I expect it to be really happy, or at least there won't be half as much anger as there was.
Kurt Cobain
Image
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.

Never met a wise man, if so its a woman.
Kurt Cobain
Image
The worst crime I could think of would be to pull people off by faking it, pretending as if I'm having 100% fun.
Kurt Cobain
Image
My songs have always had frustrating themes - relationships I've had
Kurt Cobain

I called Leo Fender, the dead guy, a dork. Now I'll never get an endorsement.
Kurt Cobain
Image
I've always had a problem with the average macho man - they've always been a threat to me.
Kurt Cobain
Image
I liked anything that was a little bit weird, a little bit different. I always went for the psychotic, weird, 'dingey' bands.

We're so trendy we can't even escape ourselves.
