Kurt Cobain on Justice

"I just can’t believe anyone would start a band just to make the scene and be cool and have chicks. I just can’t believe it."

"Jocks have completely taken over music... And just to get back at them, I’m going to start playing basketball."

"Punk Rock is, to me, dead and gone. We just wanted to pay tribute to something that helped us to feel as though we had crawled out of the dung heap of conformity."

"I am not gay, although I wish I were, just to piss off homophobes."

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you"

"This song is dedicated to Frank Zappa, and River Phoenix, Fred Gwynne who played Herman Munster, Dixie Lee Ray, Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neil, and you, dumb ass, who just threw water on me."

"If it's illegal to rock and roll, throw my ass in jail!"

"Yeah, I was run out of town. They chased me up to the castle of Aberdeen with torches. Just like the Frankenstein monster. And I got away in a hot air balloon. And I came here to Seattle."

"Same thing happened in the punk movement in the late 70's...a punk band would start, play one gig, and get signed to a major label right away, 'cause it a trend. That just shows there are a lot of old school dinosaurs in the record industry who need to be weeded out."

"I knew I was different. I thought that I might be gay or something because I couldn't identify with any of the guys at all. None of them liked art or music, they just wanted to fight and get laid. It was many years ago but it gave me this real hatred for the average American macho male."

"Music comes first; lyrics are secondary. Most of my lyrics are contradictions. I'll write a few sincere lines, and then I'll have to make fun of . I don't like to make it too obvious, because if it is too obvious, it gets really stale. You shouldn't be in people's faces 100% all the time. We don't mean to be really cryptic or mysterious, but I just think that lyrics that are different and weird and spacey paint a nice picture. It's just the way I like art."
