More quotes by Kurt Cobain
Thank you for the tragedy. I need it for my art.
Kurt Cobain
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 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
I bought a gun and chose drugs instead.
Kurt Cobain
My mother always tried to keep a little bit of British culture in our family. We'd drink tea all the time!
Kurt Cobain
Rape is one of the most terrible crimes on earth and it happens every few minutes. The problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape. Go to the source and start there.
Kurt Cobain
If chasing cool is important to you, you're an idiot!
Kurt Cobain
I like to feel prejudice towards people who are prejudice
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 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
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.
Kurt Cobain
I like to complain and do nothing to make things better.
Kurt Cobain
Punk rock should mean freedom, liking and excepting anything that you like. Playing whatever you want. As sloppy as you want. As long as it's good and it has passion.
Kurt Cobain
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
I don't understand anything technical about music at all. I don't understand any of it, why you can't put these sounds together with those sounds. I only know what sounds good.
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 really miss being able to blend in with people.
Kurt Cobain
I sing and play the guitar, and I'm a walking, talking bacterial infection.
Kurt Cobain
If I went to jail, at least I wouldn't have to sign autographs.
Kurt Cobain
I would love to be erased from our association with Pearl Jam or the Nymphs and other first time offenders.
