We remember Kurt for what he was: caring, generous and sweet.

When I perform, I like to immerse myself in the music, and I just try to get off on the diversity of music.

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

I wanted to stimulate thought instead of throwing things out or try to give a perspective. I just put stuff up and it's up for two or three weeks and I get tired of it, so I take it down and put something else up.

But remember, guitar players are a dime a dozen.

The perception of him as brooding and dark and miserable, that is baloney. Kurt Cobain was a funny dude.

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.
