KURT'S QUOTE'S #2

"We were the chosen rejects, we were the ones who
weren't picked for the sport's teams and the ones
who liked to smoke cigarettes and listen to rock"
"I wouldn't be surprised if I was the one voted most
likely to kill everyone at a highschool dance"
"I have this weird magnetic attraction to flies,
or flies attract to me, actually. I'd wake up
in the morning and these flies would keep me
awake for hours, buzzing and bouncing off my
face. They'd just attack me and this happened
over and over again in my life"
"I had a really good childhood up until I was nine,
then a classic case of divorce really affected me"
"I wanted to move to Seattle, sell my ass, and be a
punk rocker, but I was too afraid. So I just stayed
in Aberdeen for too long, until I was twenty years old"
"I hope I die before I turn into Pete Townsend. It
would look ridiculous to do what we're doing now
when I'm forty. That's why I want to destroy my
career before it's too late"
"I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic
at the same time. Something different from heavy metal
a different attitude"
"If you die you're completely happy and your soul
somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total
peace after death, becoming someone else is the best
hope I've got"
"We want to reach the top 40. Even if the whole of the
next album can't get across to that type of auience,
there's at least a hit single or two in there"
"It upset me that we were attracting the people that
a lot of my music has a reaction against"
"If you hurt my wife in any way, I'll hurt you"
"I'd rather hang out with the losers who would
sit and smoke a cigarette than the ones who wanted
to throw a baseball"
"I expected out core audiences to buy our record within
the first few weeks and that sales would decline after
that. But after we were on MTV, I suspected we would
sell a lot more"
"I know that most of you out there like us, understand
what we're trying to say, but for the rest of you,
I FUCKING HATE YOU!"
"I knew that when I had a child, I'd be overwhelmed and
it's true....I can't tell you how much my attitude has
changed since we've got Frances. Holding my baby is the
best drug in the world"
"I just don't like to get intimate. I don't want anyone
to know what I feel and what I think, and if they can't
get some kind of an idea of what sort of person I am
through my music, then thats too bad"
"I chose to do drugs. I don't feel sorry for myself at
all, but I have nothing good to say about them. They're
a total waste of time"
"The biggest thing that affected me was all the insane
heroin rumours. All this speculation going on. I felt
totally violated. I never realised that my private life
would be such an issue"
"Up until I was nine, I felt I could become a rock
star or an astronaut or the president"
"I don't even care about the band as much as I used to.
The band used to be the only thing that was important
to me in my life...Now I have a wife and a child, the
isn't the only thing I'm living for"
"I never wanted the fame in any of this, but that's a
whole different story"
"Whether I will be able to do everthing I want to do
as a part of Nirvana remains to be seen. We're all
tired of being labelled. You can't imagine how
stifling it is"
"There is nothing I like more than pure, underground
music"
"I respect people who promote the way the feel
sexually"
"I'd sleep just to get away from the pain, while I
was asleep, my stomach wouldn't hurt. Then I'd wake
up and curse myself that I was still alive. I just
like to sleep. If I dont want to socialize, and I'm
stuck in a social situation, like backstage on a
tour in general, I just sleep throughout the day"
"My songs have always had frustrating themes -
relationships I've had"
"I don't want my daughter to grow up and someday be
hassled by kids at school..I don't want people
telling her that her parents were junkies"
"Even the guys in the safety patrol called me faggot"
