She's intense and passionate, so she's perfect.

Theodore Roethke was a poet I was raised with so he has a lot of sentimental value for me.

I'm just really happy, because I think we're a great band, and I really like great bands.

I live out in the country now and it's quiet and it's a place where I can think a lot.

In Utero is a testament to the artistic vision of Kurt Cobain. It's kind of a weird record, and it's strangely beautiful at the same time. And if you look at Kurt's paintings and his drawings - he even did a sculpture for me - it's a rising, tortured-spirit person. It's kind of weird. It's done well, but it's like what Dave was saying about having your own sound. Kurt was a great songwriter. He knew he had a good ear for a hook [and was] a great singer, great guitar player, and In Utero is a good representation of what he liked in art and how he expressed himself.

If you've got a guitar and a lot of soul, just bang something out and mean it. You're the superstar.

No band is special, no player royalty.
