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.”

“There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life.”

“I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn't.”

“I really miss being able to blend in with people.”

“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.”

“Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with with your self-esteem. They're no good at all.”

“John Lennon was definitely my favorite Beatle, hands down.”

“I like to complain and do nothing to make things better.”

“I don't blame the average seventeen-year-old punk-rock kid for calling me a sellout. I understand that. And maybe when they grow up a little bit, they'll realize there's more things to life than living out your rock & roll identity so righteously.”

“If I wouldn't have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle.”

“I'm not like themBut I can pretend”

“I'm a spokesman for myself. It just so happens that there's a bunch of people that are concerned with what I have to say. I find that frightening at times because I'm just as confused as most people. I don't have the answers for anything.”

“My body is damaged from music in two ways. I have a red irritation in my stomach. It's psychosomatic, caused by all the anger and the screaming. I have scoliosis, where the curvature of your spine is bent, and the weight of my guitar has made it worse. I'm always in pain, and that adds to the anger in our music.”

“I'm so happy because today I found my friends - they're in my head.”

“And I do, god, how I do love playing live, it's the most primal form of energy release you can share with other people besides having sex or taking drugs. So if you see a good live show on drugs and then later that evening have sex, you're basically covered all the bases of energy release, and we all need to let off steam. It's easier and safer than protesting abortion clinics or praising God or wanting to hurt your brother; so go to a show, dance around a bit and copulate.”

“לפעמים אני רוצה להיות הומו, רק כדי לעצבן את ההומופובים.”

“אף אחד לא מת בתול... החיים דופקים את כולנו.”

“אני הרבה יותר שמח ממה שהרבה אנשים חושבים.”

“כן, אני ברחתי מהעיר. הם רדפו אחרי לטירה של אברדין עם לפידים. כמו פרנקנשטיין. ואני ברחתי עם כדור פורח. והגעתי לפה, לסיאטל.”

“כל הסמים הם בזבוז של זמן. הם הורסים את הזיכרון והכבוד שלך וכל דבר שקשור לכבוד העצמי שלך. אבל אני לא אתחיל להסתובב ולהטיף נגד (הסמים).”
