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

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

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.

Mike Watt and I had the same teacher. Mr. Tanaka.

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

Sunshine Cake is just a fun hobby thing. That's about it.
