Being a rock star is like being a cult leader - you really have to be in your own religion.
Courtney Love

Being a rock widow is not my job, so I would hire people to do it for me.
Courtney Love

Being famous is just like being in high school. But I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed.

Being offended is part of being in the real world.

But I always wound up being the damn John, when I wanted to be the Paul.

But let me tell you something. Gloria Steinem never helped me out; Larry Flynt did.
Courtney Love

But, you know, all good rock is easy.

He was so gorgeous... Kurt. I don't know how I got lucky that way.

I am just the classic person who wants to learn stuff. I want good tutors, and with Kurt I had the best.

I can turn on the radio right now and be inspired.

I don't need plastic in my body to validate me as a woman.

I like all the angels around because they protect me and my daughter. I mean, her Dad's an angel.

I like free gowns.
Courtney Love

I like there to be some testosterone in rock, and it's like I'm the one in the dress who has to provide it.
Courtney Love

I like to behave in an extremely normal, wholesome manner for the most part in my daily life. Even if mentally I'm consumed with sick visions of violence, terror, sex and death.
Courtney Love

I might lie a lot but never in my lyrics.
