“I want to be sublimely happy.”

“I'm beyond lucky to have fallen in love with my best friend.”

“I'm coming back as a cat or a tree or a molecule in my next life.”

“I'm a different person. I don't want to be titled as Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain's daughter. I want to be thought of as Frances Cobain.”
