Kurt Cobain

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.

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.

Thank you for the tragedy. I need it for my art.

I get a thrill meeting kids who are into alternative music.

The future of rock belongs to women.

I don't need to be inspired any longer, just supported.

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.

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.

I'm too busy acting like I'm not Naive. I've seen it all, I was here first.

With the lights out, It's less dangerous. Here we are now, Entertain us. I feel stupid, And contagious. Here we are now. Entertain us.

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.

My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.

I wanted to be in a punk band before I had even heard any punk music.

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

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.

I thought I would try to be gay for a while, but I'm just more sexually attracted to women. But I'm really glad that I found a few gay friends, because it totally saved me from becoming a monk or something.

I bought a gun and chose drugs instead.

Total peace after death, becoming someone else, is the best hope I've got.

I'm going to be a superstar musician, kill myself, and go out in a flame of glory.

Load up our guns Bring your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are
