For the first seven years of my life, I listened to nothing but The Beatles.

I am not gay, although I wish I were, just to piss off homophobes.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
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.

I sing and play the guitar, and I'm a walking, talking bacterial infection.

If I wouldn't have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
I don't need to be inspired any longer, just supported.

I’m not going to say a damn word about it being tough; I’m having the best time of my life!

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
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.

I called Leo Fender, the dead guy, a dork. Now I'll never get an endorsement.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
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.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
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 Nirvana -
My songs have always had frustrating themes - relationships I've had.

I would like to get rid of the homophobes, sexists, and racists in our audience. I know they're out there and it really bothers me.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
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 Nirvana -
I don’t have the passion anymore, and so remember, it’s better to burn out than to fade away.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
I will get stoned and worship Satan.

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.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
You can't buy happiness.

I'd rather hang out with the losers that would sit and smoke a cigarette than the ones who wanted to throw a baseball.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
We're so trendy we can't even escape ourselves.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
People are coming to shows on the strength of one song. I guess that's the way it goes.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
I'm not worried about what's going to happen when I'm thirty, because I am never going to make it to thirty. You know what life is like after thirty - I don't want that.
