There is plenty of Hühnerfleisch in the Kühlschrank. (There is plenty of chicken in the fridge).
Kurt Cobain
A miserable, self-destructive, death rocker...better to burn out than to fade away.
Kurt Cobain
I thought I would try to be gay for a while, but I'm just more sexually attracted to women. But I'm really glad that I found a few gay friends, because it totally saved me from becoming a monk or something.
Kurt Cobain
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.
Kurt Cobain
Looking back on the production of 'Nevermind,' I'm embarrassed by it now.' It's closer to a Motley Crue record than it is a punk rock record.
Kurt Cobain
I wasn’t thriving socially, so I stayed in my room and played guitar all the time, at the time, I thought I was inventing a new sound that would change the whole outlook of music. I’ve discovered in the last few years that it was just the Seattle Sub Pop sound.
Kurt Cobain
I didn't know how to deal with success. If there was a Rock Star 101, I would have liked to take it. It might have helped me.
Kurt Cobain
I’m worse at what I do best.
Kurt Cobain
I've had this terrible stomach problem for years, and that has made touring difficult. People would see me sitting in the corner by myself looking sick and gloomy. The reason is that I was trying to fight against the stomach pain, trying to hold my food down. People looked me and assumed I was some kind of addict.
Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain
I like to feel prejudice towards people who are prejudice
Kurt Cobain
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.
Kurt Cobain
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.
Kurt Cobain
I wish there had been a music business 101 course I could have taken.
Kurt Cobain
I bought a gun and chose drugs instead.
Kurt Cobain
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.
Kurt Cobain
I sing and play the guitar, and I'm a walking, talking bacterial infection.
Kurt Cobain
If you're really a mean person you're going to come back as a fly and eat poop.
Kurt Cobain
Load up our guns Bring your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend
Kurt Cobain
I never really knew about my ancestors until this year, when I learned that the name Cobain was Irish. My parents had never bothered to find that stuff out.
