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

I am just the classic person who wants to learn stuff. I want good tutors, and with Kurt I had the best.

Kurt had this dumb suicidal ideation - that's what I called it. I thought if we could live through this, we could live through anything.

My mentors are people like Cameron Crowe and Carrie Fisher.

Own what you are, and I mean whether that's art, or whether that's fashion, or whether that's music, or whether that's acting, or whether that's politics, or whether that's literature; it's own what you are, and grab it, and, you know, be as prolific as possible.

The American public really does have a death wish for me. They want me to die. I'm not going to die.

But, you know, all good rock is easy.
