"Jobb kiégni, mint megfakulni"

"Élni tudni annyi, mint röhögni a halálon és meghalni a röhögéstől"

"A legkevésbé, híres akartam lenni"

"Bárcsak lenne valaki, akitõl tanácsot kérhetnék. Valaki, akinek kiönthetném a lelkem, mégsem éreztetné velem, hogy nyomorult vagyok, akinek elmagyarázhatom, milyen bizonytalanságok kínoznak... Bárcsak megmagyarázná valaki, miért nem vágyom már arra, hogy bármi újat tanuljak. Hová lett az az energia, ami azelõtt mérföldeken és heteken át hajtott, hogy valami újat, valami mást találjak?"

"There is nothing I like more than pure underground music"

"I don't want my daughter to grow up and someday be hassled by kids at school...I don't want people telling her that her parents were junkies"

"Wearing a dress shows I can be as feminine as I want. I'm a heterosexual...big deal, but if I was a homosexual, it wouldn't matter, either."

"Don't believe everything you read... "

"Hogy ennyi ember elõtt játszunk,ez nem a mi zsánerünk,soha nem rajongtam a gigantikus rock-show-kért"
 
"Ebbõl is látszik,milyen sok a kivénhedt dinoszaurusz a lemezcégeknél,akiket ki kell írtani"

"Siker ? Nem vagyunk rá felkészülve, és nem is ez volt a célunk"

"Gitárcentrikus rock'n roll, de annak veszed aminek akarod"

"If you guys throw one more shoe or one more coin, I'm just going to leave my guitar next to my amp and there's going to be massive feed back for an hour."

"My name is Kurt and I sing and play the guitar and I'm a walking, talking bacterial infection."

"We're just a bar band, that's all we are."

"We're so trendy we can't even escape ourselves."

Interviewer: "How would you define the music of Nirvana?" Kurt: "Punk rock, pop rock, hard pop rock."

"One day, Dave and I were sitting around watching a documentary on babies being born underwater." - on the Nevermind Cover idea

"People ask me what's like to hear our song on the radio. I don't know, I don't listen to the radio" 

"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 learned"

Grunge, isn't that some gross shade of greenish orange?"

"Music is first, lyrics are secondary."

"Holding Frances in my arms is the best drug in the world."

 "If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the fuck alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records."

"I don't want to be a spokesperson."

"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." - Kurt Cobain, 1992

"At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us -- leave us alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records."

"What people don't realize is that the so-called Seattle grunge scene grew out of several close-knit gourmet supper clubs - we would only pick up guitars to pass the time while our dishes were simmering, baking, boiling, etc."

"By definition pop is extremely catchy, whether you like it or not," Cobain says. "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." 

"My songs have always had frustrating themes - relationships I've had"

"Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, "Nirvana" means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that is pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock"

"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'."

"I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else."

"My generation's apathy. I'm disgusted with it. I'm disgusted with my own apathy too, for being spineless and not always standing up against racism, sexism and all those other -isms the counterculture has been whinning about for years."

"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."

"Grunge is dead."

"Wasting to be somebody else is a waste of the person you are."
