If Nirvana had remained a small, underground punk rock band, Kurt Cobain would still be alive. And he'd probably be living in Seattle, getting kind of fat and balding, be relatively happy and producing records for other people.

I feel like people might be slightly less inclined to hate me as much as they did in the past, and I think part of that is selling fewer records.

I was trying to convince myself I could learn to be gay - but no. That's one of my great regrets.

As time passes and the more advanced science becomes, the more interesting it becomes.

I have no perspective as regards my work. One reason I put out records and books is people respond to it, and it enables you to actually see the work more clearly. It's a form of therapy for me. Sometimes abusive therapy.

I think the word 'blog' is an ugly word. I just don't know why people can't use the word 'journal.'

My mother and I were on welfare and food stamps until I was 18, so I've always had this ethos of, like, 'try and make a little bit of money now because you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.'
