Develop that individuality by working as hard as you can at what you love.

'In Utero' was the first time I'd made an album that reached into the dark side. I remember the conflict and the uncertainty. I remember all those things when I hear 'Pennyroyal Tea.'

I know a lot of people who wouldn't be comfortable with everything that comes with being in a band as big as Nirvana. The thing that I don't understand is not appreciating that simple gift of being able to play music.

It's funny, there aren't too many musicians that also moonlight as studio engineers. There's a few - the really brilliant ones.

If there's one thing I'm good at, it's gathering people together to do something fun.

I listen to boy band music before I have to fire someone.

I've always been a fan of melody and emotional melancholy, whether it was Rites of Spring or Tears for Fears or Neil Young. If I hear a song that has a sweet melody, I'm a sucker for it, whether it's Linkin Park or Little Richard.
