I have crazy claustrophobic dreams, weird elevator dreams where the elevator closes in and all of a sudden I am lying down - oh my God, it's a casket. Just freaky stuff like that.

When I sit down to interview people, I don't hold questions and I don't know the answers. They're more like conversations that become lessons.

It was supposed to be gross, and now it's gorgeous.

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

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.

When there's so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you've already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days?

My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.
