With the lights out, It's less dangerous. Here we are now, Entertain us. I feel stupid, And contagious. Here we are now. Entertain us.

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.

Thank you for the tragedy. I need it for my art.

I remember feeling ashamed, for some reason. I was ashamed of my parents. I couldn't face some of my friends at school anymore, because I desperately wanted to have the classic, you know, typical family. Mother, father. I wanted that security, so I resented my parents for quite a few years because of that.

I'm too busy acting like I'm not Naive. I've seen it all, I was here first.

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.

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.

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.

I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn't.
Kurt Cobain
Image
I just can't believe that anyone would start a band just to make the scene and be cool and have chicks. I just can't believe it.
Kurt Cobain
Image
I use bits and pieces of others personalities to form my own.
Kurt Cobain
Image
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

A miserable, self-destructive, death rocker...better to burn out than to fade away.

Don't expect me to die for you.
