I had a really good childhood up until I was nine years old. Then a classic case of divorce really affected me and I moved back and forth between relatives all the time. And I just became extremely depressed and withdrawn.

More quotes by Kurt Cobain
Out of all the guitars in the whole world, the Fender Mustang is my favorite. They're cheap and totally inefficient, and they sound like crap and are very small.
Kurt Cobain
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
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
The worst crime is faking it.
Kurt Cobain
My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.
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
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
I sing and play the guitar, and I'm a walking, talking bacterial infection.
Kurt Cobain
I bought a gun and chose drugs instead.
Kurt Cobain
I'm not gay, although I wish I were, just to piss off the homophobes.
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
I would love to be erased from our association with Pearl Jam or the Nymphs and other first time offenders.
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 want to be a spokesperson.
Kurt Cobain
I never really knew about my ancestors until this year, when I learned that the name Cobain was Irish. My parents had never bothered to find that stuff out.
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've always wanted male friends that I could be real intimate with and talk about important things with and be as affectionate with that person as I would be with a girl.
Kurt Cobain
I called Leo Fender, the dead guy, a dork. Now I'll never get an endorsement.
Kurt Cobain
Maybe we can change some kid's life & stop him from becoming a welder or a sleazy lawyer.
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.
