I've never been more confused in my life, but at the same time I've never been more satisfied with what we've done.
Kurt Cobain
Image
I'll be the first to admit that we're the 90's version of Cheap Trick or the Knack...

The day is done. I'm having fun. I think I'm dumb. Or maybe just happy.
Kurt Cobain

I've never considered musical equipment very sacred.
Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain
Image
If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.
Kurt Cobain
Image
Life is a waste of time and time is a waste of life, so let's all get wasted and have the time of our lives.
Kurt Cobain
Image
I sing and play the guitar, and I'm a walking, talking bacterial infection.
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
A miserable, self-destructive, death rocker...better to burn out than to fade away.
Kurt Cobain
Image
My songs have always had frustrating themes - relationships I've had
Kurt Cobain
Image
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
Image
I liked anything that was a little bit weird, a little bit different. I always went for the psychotic, weird, 'dingey' bands.
Kurt Cobain
Image
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
