I'm kind of claustrophobic... It's not even like enclosed spaces. It's like I hate being stuck in one band, you know? Just being stuck is the biggest drag, for fear that, you know, just that you can't get out.

It's terrifying to play your favorite band's song in front of your favorite band.

I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?

The best time for gum is just before getting onstage. I need a minty-fresh microphone.

If it weren't for the Beatles, I would not be a musician.

Usually, when Nirvana made music, there wasn't a lot of conversation. We wanted everything to be surreal. We didn't want to have some contrived composition.
