I finally learned from Fred Durst, who is [of] my generation, that "selling out" means every ticket at The Forum got sold. I don't think Britney [Spears] and Christina [Aguilera] sit there agonizing over their record sales. The [term] "sell out" needs to be eradicated from the language, because if you don't "sell out," guess what? An asshole will. (Courtney Love)
I didn't know it was such a guy's job. It's like playing football in high heels and lipstick; no wonder it smears. View quote

After what I've been through, I'd rather die than take drugs again. View quote
Courtney Love
Someone once said that Nirvana attracted everybody that had ever been through a broken home... my niche is a lot more specific: It's a lot of females, and a lot of gay guys, and a few advanced and evolved heterosexual men-not many, but there's a few out there. View quote

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. View quote

Sister ectoplasma she's incredulous Just like a pro she takes off her dress And she kicks you down in her snow white pumps Just remember it was me who found the lumps. View quote

I am the girl you know, can't look you in the eye I am the girl you know so sick I cannot try I am the one you want, can't look you in the eye I am the girl you know, I lie and lie and lie. View quote

Crash and burn All the stars explode tonight How'd you get so desperate? How'd you stay alive? View quote
Courtney Love
Love hangs herself with the bedsheets in her cell Threw myself on fires for you Ten good reasons to stay alive Ten good reasons that I can't find. View quote

And they're coming to take me away now What I want I will never have I'm on the Pacific Coast Highway With your gun in my hands. (Courtney Love)
It's my lie and I believe in it It's my lie and I wanted it It's my bed and I'll bleed in it It's my bed, and I'll lie And I sit on the corner And I drink drown soda I wanna bomb the whole state of Minnesota. View quote

Is this the anti-gay state? Aren't you the people that voted on the anti-gay thing? View quote

So, I gained a little...weight, ... Big deal. Clean and sober. View quote
Courtney Love
I try to place [beautiful imagery] next to fucked up imagery, because that's how I view things ... I sometimes feel that no one's taken the time to write about certain things in rock, that there's a certain female point of view that's never been given space. View quote
Courtney Love
[Internet forums are] kind of fun and stuff, but what's really weird is how they fucking give such a shit about how I'm spelling. It's like, what, I worked to be a clerical worker? I didn't take typing class, assholes. View quote

I didn't ever really talk until I started hanging out in '80 or '81 with the drag queens at the Metropolis [or Met, a gay new wave club] in Portland. I was very, very quiet. So much so that at one point when I was very young I was diagnosed as a probable autistic. And then I started hanging around with bitchy drag queens and with [my friends] Ursula and Robin, and they basically raised me. I found my inner bitch and I ran with her. View quote
Courtney Love
Without the benefit of history, there was no way you could be in the middle of all that and understand what it was like. To be a couple that persecuted, and to be such weak people, so frail and reactive, huddling together because the whole world is going [she makes a sound like a bomb going off]. You've got your own team, the sectarian left, splintering off and pointing accusing fingers. We're fucking picking nits off Eddie Vedder and Eddie Vedder is trying to take on the constitution, and the whole fucking world is damning me to the stake. It was insanity. So in reaction to that, I made a record about it. View quote

America's Sweetheart was my one true piece of shit. It has no cohesive thread. I just hate it. (Courtney Love)
I always took myself really seriously... but sometimes I'd be at a venue and the guy would call me ‘sweetie' or ‘honey' when we were doing drums and stuff. I'd carry the drums in myself so people wouldn't say I was a bitch. I went very briefly to an engineering school, so I knew the difference between white noise and pink noise and what a view meter was, and a logs player and things like that. I didn't need to know but it came in handy when I was sitting with Steve Albini like ‘really? Is that a good logs player?' I barely know what it is, but I learned "Smoke On The Water" so I could go to Guitar Center and play that and not have guys look at me. It was a different time-I think girls get taken a lot more seriously now. View quote
