Remember, if you write anything nasty about me, I'll come around and blow up your toilet.

I punched out Kathleen Hanna... Sonic Youth brought her. I punched her, and she screamed, 'I'll take you on, any college in America, any feminist debate,' and I said, 'But Kathleen, that means you're going to have to read!'

I didn't know it was such a guy's job. It's like playing football in high heels and lipstick; no wonder it smears.

The language of love letters is the same as suicide notes.

I don't mean to be a diva, but some days you wake up and you're Barbara Streisand.

At one point my dad called me and said, 'You have always been a great salesman. I think it's time you come home and sell swimming pools.'

I wore a dress that was so restricting and shoes that were five inches high, I could barely stage-dive. Then I got the best write-ups, for being feminine, I guess. I couldn’t move well and I was restrained, which equals great review. That’s pretty horrid.

When my looks are shot-which I reckon will be in about six years-I’ll have plastic surgery here on my chin, and they can pull my cheeks back, but I’m not ready for that. And because of the smoking, the mouth is starting to give.

Someone once said that Nirvana attracted everybody that had ever been through a broken home... my niche is a lot more specific: It's a lot of females, and a lot of gay guys, and a few advanced and evolved heterosexual men-not many, but there's a few out there.

My mentors are people like Cameron Crowe and Carrie Fisher.
Courtney Love -
You’ve got to be prepared for the names they are going to call you compared to your male peers… You will be a floozy and a slattern. He will be virile and a ladies’ man. You will be a freakshow, a retching wretch, a sloppy drunk. He will be charismatic, vainglorious, a ferocious drunk and Dionysian. You will be indiscriminate and desperate. He will be generous, tortured and driven.

I want every girl in the world to pick up a guitar and start screaming.

Internet forums are kind of fun and stuff, but what's really weird is how they fucking give such a shit about how I'm spelling. It's like, what, I worked to be a clerical worker? I didn't take typing class, assholes.

My daughter is an angel on earth, so when I see her it all goes away. I see her and - phew! - all that dark goes away pretty much.

If there's any time you should be on drugs it's when you're pregnant, cause it sucks.
Courtney Love -
When you're dying and your life is flashing before your eyes, you're gonna be thinking about the great things that you did, the horrible things that you did and the emotional impact that someone had on you and that you had on somebody else. Those are the things that are relevant. To have some sort of emotional impact that transcends your time, that's great. As long as you don't mess it up by being undignified when you're old.

I am God and my lawyers are my 12 disciples...do not f**k with me!

That which is imagined need never be lost.

Kurt Cobain was Nirvana. He named the band, hired its members, played guitar, wrote the songs, fronted the band onstage and in interviews, and took responsibility for the band's business decisions.
Courtney Love -
With me and Kurt, it was either Bonnie and Clyde, Sid and Nancy, or mommy. That's where it got at the end, but the rest of the time it was equal. The equality was based on Bonnie and Clyde, which is fucking goddamn fun. And Romeo and Juliet. But it was also Hamlet and Hamlet. Not Hamlet and Ophelia. These two fucking Hamlets sitting around.

When I stepped out from doing films and had a dark period, I never did anything dark on a set, so I never made enemies on a set. I never was a bad girl on a set; I always considered films a really sacred space, so when I had my problems, I had them very much away from the film community.
Courtney Love -
My goal keeps me alive, and no personal issue is going to interfere with that. If people try to put me in the crazy box–'crazy fucking Courtney'–go ahead. But if you think you’re going to stop me from where I’m going, you’re not going to do it. I work my ass off. I deliver the goddamn goods. And I will deliver them again.
Courtney Love -
In rock stardom there's an absolute economic upside to self-destruction.

America's Sweetheart was my one true piece of shit. It has no cohesive thread. I just hate it.
