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!'.

That which is imagined need never be lost.

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.

Songs need to have a secret, cryptic, thematic thing about them, otherwise they are just messy and all over the place.

Being a rock star is like being a cult leader - you really have to be in your own religion.

I'm not a woman. I'm a force of nature.

I listen to too many people. I'm only going to listen to my gut for the rest of my life.
