I have very bad posture.Collection: Posture
There are some pop songs I hate but I can't get them out of my head. Our songs also have the standard pop format: Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, bad solo. All in all, I think we sound like The Knack and the Bay City Rollers being molested by Black Flag and Black Sabbath.Collection: Song
I'll be the first to admit that we're the 90's version of Cheap Trick or the Knack...Collection: Knack
She eyes me like a pisces.Collection: Eye

The day is done. I'm having fun. I think I'm dumb. Or maybe just happy.Collection: Fun
I want to do something different, really different, and if it alienates people that's too bad.Collection: People
You know what I hate about rock? I hate tie-dyed tee shirts. I wouldn't wear a tie-dyed tee shirt unless it was dyed with the urine of Phil Collins and the blood of Jerry Garcia.Collection: Hate
Forever in debt to your priceless advice.Collection: Friendship
Don't expect me to die for you.Collection: Dies
I just hope I don't become so blissful I become boring. I think I'll always be neurotic enough to do something weird.Collection: Thinking
Never met a wise man, if so its a woman.Collection: Mets
I had a really good childhood up until I was nine years old. Then a classic case of divorce really affected me and I moved back and forth between relatives all the time. And I just became extremely depressed and withdrawn.Collection: Divorce
I was accepted by cool people because the cheerleaders thought I was cute. The jocks knew the jock-girls thought I was cute. I just chose not to hang around with them.Collection: Cute
I don't need to be inspired any longer, just supported.Collection: Needs
Before I die many will die with me and they'll deserve it. See you in Hell.Collection: Hell

There's nothing more comfortable than a cosy flower pattern.Collection: Flower
I don't understand anything technical about music at all. I don't understand any of it, why you can't put these sounds together with those sounds. I only know what sounds good.Collection: Together
The future of rock belongs to women.Collection: Rocks

My songs have always had frustrating themes - relationships I've hadCollection: Song
I wasn't thriving socially, so I stayed in my room and played guitar all the time.Collection: Guitar
There's definitely some pieces in there that reflect on my personal life, but really, they aren't as personal as everybody thinks they are. I would like them to be more personal. The emotions, the songs themselves are personal. I can't do it - I've tried to write personally and it just doesn't seem to work. It would be too obvious. Some things that you could read in could fit into anyone's life that had any amount of pain at all. It's pretty cliche'.Collection: Song
I called Leo Fender, the dead guy, a dork. Now I'll never get an endorsement.Collection: Guitar
Hope I die before I turn into Pete Townshend. It would look ridiculous to do what we're doing now when I'm 40. That's why I want to destroy my career before it's too late.Collection: Careers
We were just amazed we were putting out a record. We were, and are, still learning. But we've never cared much for professionalism as long as the energy was there. Like our live shows: We're out of tune and use a lot of feedback. That's not on purpose or because we don't care, we're just musically and rhythmically retarded and we play so hard that we can't tune our guitars fast enough.Collection: Guitar
I'd like to live off the band, but if not, I'll just retire to Mexico or Yugoslavia with a few hundred dollars, grow potatoes, and learn the history of rock through back issues of Creem magazine.Collection: Rocks
I never really knew about my ancestors until this year, when I learned that the name Cobain was Irish. My parents had never bothered to find that stuff out.Collection: Years
The worst crime I could think of would be to pull people off by faking it, pretending as if I'm having 100% fun.Collection: Fun
I wish I would tell our audience that we don't hate them without sounding cheesy.Collection: Hate
All my life, I never believed most things I read in history books and a lot of things I learned in school. But now I've found I don't have the right to make a judgment on someone based on something I've read. I don't have the right to judge anything. That's the lesson I've learnedCollection: Book
I've never been more confused in my life, but at the same time I've never been more satisfied with what we've done.Collection: Confused
