I am not suicidal. Occasionally, like all of us, I get depressed and it was over a year ago and I had a little mini attack, well a big one ... I don't know quite why it happened but I find medication is not the answer to this.

Mainstream success is important - that's probably anathema to an indie publication like Pitchfork, but it's what I believe having experienced it personally.

It’s been twenty years-we didn’t even talk at Kurt's funeral. None of us. And so, twenty years of me getting Yoko-bashed, and Dave bashing, and me bashing and making it worse, all that shit. The legal stuff, the trial. We just buried it. It was really deep. It brings tears to my eyes to even talk about it.

A great writer named Neal Stephenson said that America does four things better than any other country in the world: rock music, movies, software and high-speed pizza delivery. All of these are sacred American art forms. Let's return to our purity and our idealism while we have this shot.

I'm a major feminist. There's a real politic in life, where I've been in rooms where real decisions are made, and it's a lot of powerful white men. There are women in those rooms, but not as many as there should be.
Courtney Love -
I wish I was beautiful or at least wise, but I’m simply mad and violent.
Courtney Love -
I need the gays at the shows. If I don't have the gays, I just go nuts, because they always know every word and they're the best core audience you can have.

I had found The Runaways and I had seen Foxes, and I decided I was just gonna become a juvie, like Cherie Currie.

Don't be bitter and mean 'couse you don’t fit in, it’s a GIFT. Look at you. you’ve got your individuality, you don’t have the herd instinct, you can read Neitzsche and understand it. Only dumb people are happy.

My number one thing to work on is not being reactive - but appropriateness doesn't come easily to me sometimes.
Courtney Love -
If I fuckin' die without having written two, three, or four brilliant rock songs... I don't know why I lived my life.
Courtney Love -
It's very hard to describe to people sometimes the way I grew up, because it wasn't like my parents were irresponsible. They weren't necessarily reckless, but they were bringing all types of energy into the house, all kinds of people.
Courtney Love -
You need to write on your own and produce your own life.

Making good records tastes good in your mouh. And when that record sells, it tastes even better.

Drugs have nothing to do with the creation of music. In fact, they are dumb and self indulgent. Kind of like sucking your thumb!
Courtney Love -
I'm pretty normal in some ways. In some ways I'm completely extraordinary, and in other ways I'm completely weird and eccentric.
Courtney Love -
I have no intention of dying young and being some stinking rock'n'roll person.
Courtney Love -
But I always wound up being the damn John, when I wanted to be the Paul.
Courtney Love -
I'm ultimately a widow and a single mother, who's not even getting to be a mother right now. I am so alone, it's freaky.
Courtney Love -
I don't need plastic in my body to validate me as a woman.
Courtney Love
-
I wanted my anger to be valid, and the only way to do that is to be fairly attractive.
Courtney Love -
I have a lot of regrets, of course I do. I should have taken that part; I should have maybe married that one, I don't know, but I didn't. So I am what I am and I'm pretty confident that I can break in. I think what I have to offer on film and on television is honest.
Courtney Love -
Songs need to have a secret, cryptic, thematic thing about them, otherwise they are just messy and all over the place.

I started chanting when I was living on Hollywood Boulevard, working as a stripper. Within six months, I got my first million dollars and I didn’t have to strip for bucks any more. Then I met Kurt and we still chanted, but we did a lot of drugs together.
