What people don't realize is that the so-called Seattle grunge scene grew out of several close-knit gourmet supper clubs - we would only pick up guitars to pass the time while our dishes were simmering, baking, boiling, etc.
People ask me what's like to hear our song on the radio. I don't know, I don't listen to the radio
If I could get that girl to publish her poetry, the world would change. (On Courtney Love)
Music is first, lyrics are secondary.
I won't eat anything green.
If I wouldn't have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle.
Out of all the guitars in the whole world, the Fender Mustang is my favorite. They're cheap and totally inefficient, and they sound like crap and are very small.
There's nothing better than having a baby. I've always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. 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.

There's nothing more comfortable than a cosy flower pattern.
There are some pop songs I hate but I can't get them out of my head. Our songs also have the standard pop format: Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, bad solo. All in all, I think we sound like The Knack and the Bay City Rollers being molested by Black Flag and Black Sabbath.
I never listen to 'Nevermind.' I haven't listened to it since we put it out. That says something.
Maybe we can change some kid's life & stop him from becoming a welder or a sleazy lawyer.
I like guitars in the Fender style because they have skinny necks.
