When I listen to ‘Nevermind,’ I hate the production, but there’s something about it that almost makes me cry at times. – Kurt Cobain
Every time I see documentaries or infomercials about little kids with cancer, I just freak out. It affects me on the highest emotional level… Anytime I think about it, it makes me sadder than anything I can think of. – Kurt Cobain
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. – Kurt Cobain
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. – 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. – 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
I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar – hide in the back and just play. – Kurt Cobain
I’ve always had a problem with the average macho man – they’ve always been a threat to me. – Kurt Cobain
If I wouldn’t have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle. – Kurt Cobain
I own a ’66 Jaguar. That’s the guitar I polish, and baby – I refuse to let anyone touch it when I jump into the crowd. – Kurt Cobain
Punk is musical freedom. It’s saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster’s terms, ‘nirvana’ means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that’s pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock. – 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
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 was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude. – Kurt Cobain
If you die you’re completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I’m not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I’ve got. – Kurt Cobain
