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.

More quotes by Kurt Cobain
You create attention to attract attention.
Kurt Cobain
A friend is nothing but a known enemy.
Kurt Cobain
Zits are beauty marks.
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
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.
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've never been a very prolific person, so when creativity flows, it flows. I find myself scribbling on little notepads and pieces of loose paper, which results in a very small portion of my writings to ever show up in true form.
Kurt Cobain
If you read, you'll judge.
Kurt Cobain
I don’t wanna have any other kind of job. I can’t work among people. I may as well try & make a career out of this. All my life my dream has been to be a big rock star - just may as well abuse it while you can.
Kurt Cobain
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.
Kurt Cobain
I called Leo Fender, the dead guy, a dork. Now I'll never get an endorsement.
Kurt Cobain
I would love to be erased from our association with Pearl Jam or the Nymphs and other first time offenders.
Kurt Cobain
Load up our guns Bring your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend
Kurt Cobain
I'd like to live off the band, but if not, I'll just retire to Mexico or Yugoslavia with a few hundred dollars, grow potatoes, and learn the history of rock through back issues of Creem magazine.
Kurt Cobain
I don’t have the passion anymore, and so remember, it’s better to burn out than to fade away.
Kurt Cobain
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
I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn't.
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'm all for stage diving, but just don't step on my pedals
Kurt Cobain
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.
