Courtney Love
Mainstream success is important - that's probably anathema to an indie publication like Pitchfork, but it's what I believe having experienced it personally.Collection: Believe
I am God and my lawyers are my 12 disciples...do not f**k with me!Collection: Lawyer
[Kurt Cobain] had a lot of German in him. Some Irish. But no Jew. I think that if he had had a little Jew he would have [expletive] stuck it out.Collection: Thinking
If you (the press) lie about us, I will hit you, Kurt will shoot you, and we both will sue.Collection: Lying
Own what you are, and I mean whether that's art, or whether that's fashion, or whether that's music, or whether that's acting, or whether that's politics, or whether that's literature; it's own what you are, and grab it, and, you know, be as prolific as possible.Collection: Fashion
I'm covered with loser dust.Collection: Loss
When I see 16 year-olds waiting for me, I just want to spank them and give them guitars and tell them to start bands. It's a bummer that girls have to respond to rock artists sexually instead of, like, 'wow, me too!'.Collection: Girl
When you're feeling overwhelmed in business, one smart idea can beat the biggest Super Bowl ad.Collection: Smart
There's not a lot of people expressing anger in the culture. They're expressing a lot of hyper-exaggerated sexuality.Collection: People
Songs need to have a secret, cryptic, thematic thing about them, otherwise they are just messy and all over the place.Collection: Song

Cocaine is like really evil coffee.Collection: Coffee
The American public really does have a death wish for me. They want me to die. I'm not going to die.Collection: Music
I have a lot of regrets, of course I do. I should have taken that part; I should have maybe married that one, I don't know, but I didn't. So I am what I am and I'm pretty confident that I can break in. I think what I have to offer on film and on television is honest.Collection: Regret
That which is imagined need never be lost.Collection: Needs
I think when you get married, it should be forever. Even though I did get married once and it was annulled. I don't know. For myself, I just want to have kids by the same person and stay with the same person.Collection: Kids
If I see a chick playing guitar, I'm drawn to that band immediately. I want to know everything, even if it's completely electronic. But you have to really get my attention if you're male. I can't help it. It's part of my nature.Collection: Guitar
I would like to say in defense of the Christian religion that there are nice things about it. There really are. And Marilyn can tear up the Bible all he wants and I understand why, but... there's good things in the Bible. Good things. Like about, you know, not killing people, and... you know... not sleeping with people's husbands.Collection: Christian
The minute I got skinny and got a nose job and became photogenic, and all of a sudden I had a bidding war, and every boy I ever wanted, wanted me.Collection: Jobs
These are my wakeup cupcakes, some anti-depressants and a cellphone book.Collection: Book
Kurt Cobain was Nirvana. He named the band, hired its members, played guitar, wrote the songs, fronted the band onstage and in interviews, and took responsibility for the band's business decisions.Collection: Song
I wanted my anger to be valid, and the only way to do that is to be fairly attractive.Collection: Way
I wish people would just like me for what I am, the singer in an OK new wave band.Collection: People
There's even one for your titties. I haven't done the boobs mask one yet-you just stick it on your tits, apparently. I have to try it. But I did the foot one and the hand one yesterday, and it makes my skin crazy. It's like I just had sex for four days.Collection: Sex
Love is the core of everything - nothing survives without it.Collection: Love Is
I don't really miss God but I sure miss Santa Claus!Collection: Missing
I had found The Runaways and I had seen Foxes, and I decided I was just gonna become a juvie, like Cherie Currie.Collection: Foxes
The road of rock and roll (much like life) is littered with broken dreams and death. And it's our job to overcome these and to survive.Collection: Dream
I'd definitely like to see less twerking and more power chords.Collection: Twerking
To me, 'selling out' means everyone bought a ticket.Collection: Mean
There are ten commandments, I've only broken three.Collection: Broken
Even if you don't release it, find a scream. It's so liberating. You can do anything then. It’s like you can fly. It gives you superpowers.Collection: Giving
Four inch nails is more like it!Collection: Men
I need the gays at the shows. If I don't have the gays, I just go nuts, because they always know every word and they're the best core audience you can have.Collection: Gay
That is something I'm specifically equipped to discuss - how reputation can affect even your capacity to rent a place. Having good credit is irrelevant in the face of something like getting thrown out of court six years ago. I've really thought this out.Collection: Years
You know, if Nicole Kidman was a rock star, she'd be alot more professional than me, I'm sorry.Collection: Stars
I keep social with everyone because I want to know what's going on at every level. At the same time, if I'm not alone a certain amount of time per day then I'll go nuts, because I can't write and I can't think. I can't deal with people all the time. I like being alone. I'm a bit of a cat lady in that way.Collection: Cat
I've done enough films to know how to save up my energy for the take and then give it on the take and do that.Collection: Giving
How does Macy Gray or Kid Rock not win over Christina Aguilera?Collection: Kids
A great writer named Neal Stephenson said that America does four things better than any other country in the world: rock music, movies, software and high-speed pizza delivery. All of these are sacred American art forms. Let's return to our purity and our idealism while we have this shot.Collection: Country
It's very hard to describe to people sometimes the way I grew up, because it wasn't like my parents were irresponsible. They weren't necessarily reckless, but they were bringing all types of energy into the house, all kinds of people.Collection: People
A good stylist knows that and is not going to push you to wear something that you're not comfortable with.Collection: Stylist
I want to be the girl with the most cake.Collection: Girl
