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.

I don't need plastic in my body to validate me as a woman.

I do wish I ruled the world, I think it'd be a better place.

I like to behave in an extremely normal, wholesome manner for the most part in my daily life. Even if mentally I'm consumed with sick visions of violence, terror, sex and death.
Courtney Love -
Songs need to have a secret, cryptic, thematic thing about them, otherwise they are just messy and all over the place.

The American male runs half of the global world and grows up on rock music from day one. If you can alter the psyche of someone who's growing up to be a rapist or a total misogynist, you're creating values and instead of making the void bigger, you're making it smaller.

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.

I'm a catalogue artist: I compete with Bob Dylan.

Much of my high-jinx have been drug-related. When you're under 30, whatever, but once you're past 40 it's just ugly.

Don’t eat cheese. There are a million things to eat that are not cheese.

I try to place beautiful imagery next to fucked up imagery, because that's how I view things … I sometimes feel that no one's taken the time to write about certain things in rock, that there's a certain female point of view that's never been given space.

We choose convenience over individuality every time-every time.

I surrounded myself with women when I was growing up because I had this horrible psycho father. Now I'm trying to really appreciate and like men more.

You gotta be able to change worlds.

In rock 'n' roll it's really about being as vulnerable as possible and giving them what they want. But onstage it's about pausing, about internal life, it's about internal triggers - that's one of the reasons I'm really challenged to do a play.
Courtney Love -
There's not a lot of people expressing anger in the culture. They're expressing a lot of hyper-exaggerated sexuality.

My brother, Toby, is six-foot-six, and he went to Vassar; my other brother, Brown; my sister, without one penny from me or my stepdad, NYU Law, number one in her class-Jesus, it's such a functional family, I don't know where I came from.

Everything that becomes true starts with a manifesto.

For years, despite having impeccable taste, I didn't understand how to convey that I had impeccable taste.

I'm offended every time I see George Bush on TV!

When I see 16 year-olds waiting for me, I just want to spank them and give them guitars and tell them to start bands. It's a bummer that girls have to respond to rock artists sexually instead of, like, 'wow, me too!'.

When you're feeling overwhelmed in business, one smart idea can beat the biggest Super Bowl ad.

I'm not a theater rat, so I never got a theatrical agent and did a play. I came really close though.

Writing songs has a lot to do with your sexuality. I danced for awhile and just being around that made me realize what people use. And if you grow up blessed with a certain beauty or a certain intelligence that enhances your beauty, you can get into a better position in life.
