Quote

To be positive at all times is to ignore all that is important, sacred or valuable. To be negative at all times is to be threatened by ridiculousness and instant discredibility.

Zits are beauty marks.

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.

Image
I'm really interested in smells. I think I'd like to own a perfumery someday.
Kurt Cobain
Image
Sometimes I wish I had taken the Bob Dylan route and sang songs where my voice would not go out on me every night, so I could have a career if I wanted.
Kurt Cobain
Image
My mother always tried to keep a little bit of British culture in our family. We'd drink tea all the time!

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

I'm all for stage diving, but just don't step on my pedals

Image
I always wanted to experience the street life because my teenage life in Aberdeen was so boring. But I was never really independent enough to do it. I applied for food stamps, lived under the bridge, and built a fort at the cedar mill.

You create attention to attract attention.
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.

Image
I'm not gay, although I wish I were, just to piss off the homophobes.
Kurt Cobain
Image
Wearing a dress shows I can be as feminine as I want. I'm a heterosexual...big deal, but if I was a homosexual, it wouldn't matter, either.
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
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
Image
I have to admit I've found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I'm pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.

Image
I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn't.
Kurt Cobain
Image
If it was up to me, I'd get more oil tanker drivers drunk. I don't value music much. I like the Beatles, but I hate Paul McCartney. I like Led Zeppelin, but I hate Robert Plant. I like the Who, but I hate Roger Daltrey.
Kurt Cobain
Image
My generation's apathy. I'm disgusted with it. I'm disgusted with my own apathy too, for being spineless and not always standing up against racism, sexism and all those other -isms the counterculture has been whining about for years.

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

I called Leo Fender, the dead guy, a dork. Now I'll never get an endorsement.
