I would love to be erased from our association with Pearl Jam or the Nymphs and other first time offenders.

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.

If it's illegal to rock and roll, then throw my ass in jail.
-
I'm a much happier guy than a lot of people think I am.
-
Looking back on the production of 'Nevermind,' I'm embarrassed by it now.' It's closer to a Motley Crue record than it is a punk rock record.
-
Absolutely. Slade! A band that would never bend over.

If it's illegal to rock and roll, throw my ass in jail!

I just hope I don't become so blissful I become boring. I think I'll always be neurotic enough to do something weird.
-
I have very bad posture.

Expression and the right to express is vital, anyone can be artistic.

I remember feeling ashamed, for some reason. I was ashamed of my parents. I couldn't face some of my friends at school anymore, because I desperately wanted to have the classic, you know, typical family. Mother, father. I wanted that security, so I resented my parents for quite a few years because of that.
-
My mother encouraged me to be artistic. It was written in a contract at an early age that I would be an artist.

Hope I die before I turn into Pete Townshend.

I can’t comment on Soundgarden because I know them personally and I really like them a lot, but I have strong feelings towards Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains and bands like that. They’re obviously just corporate puppets that are just trying to jump on the alternative bandwagon - and we are being lumped into that category.

Married, Married, Married! Buried! Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

There's nothing more comfortable than a cosy flower pattern.
-
I've never considered musical equipment very sacred.
-
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.

I've had this terrible stomach problem for years, and that has made touring difficult. People would see me sitting in the corner by myself looking sick and gloomy. The reason is that I was trying to fight against the stomach pain, trying to hold my food down. People looked me and assumed I was some kind of addict.

Jocks have completely taken over music... And just to get back at them, I’m going to start playing basketball.

You do learn things and one of them is that happiness has nothing to do with validation from other people, the important thing is being happy with yourself ... finding something that is important to you and sticking with it no matter what anyone says. The truth is you've got to really be tough because there are all kinds of forces that are always trying to get you to do things their way ... trying to tell you that you are throwing your life away if you don't follow their advice.

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.

And I swear that I don't have a gun...no I don't have a gun.

We were just amazed we were putting out a record. We were, and are, still learning. But we've never cared much for professionalism as long as the energy was there. Like our live shows: We're out of tune and use a lot of feedback. That's not on purpose or because we don't care, we're just musically and rhythmically retarded and we play so hard that we can't tune our guitars fast enough.
