Courtney Love

I'm a catalogue artist: I compete with Bob Dylan.

Much of my high-jinx have been drug-related. When you're under 30, whatever, but once you're past 40 it's just ugly.

I'm ultimately a widow and a single mother, who's not even getting to be a mother right now. I am so alone, it's freaky.

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

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.

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

But, you know, all good rock is easy.

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

I like free gowns.

I surrounded myself with women when I was growing up because I had this horrible psycho father. Now I'm trying to really appreciate and like men more.

I think Andy Kaufman is to comedy what the Velvet Underground was to music - it's like, 80 thousand records sold, but everybody who bought one started a band.

The Kurt thing has burdened me so much.

The only thing that's really riled me up in the last ten years has been the White Stripes. That's the one band that's gotten me competitive, and that's good.

Kurt had this dumb suicidal ideation - that's what I called it. I thought if we could live through this, we could live through anything.

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

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

Movie stars are supposed to be healthy. They're kept happy and nutritionally together.

My number one thing to work on is not being reactive - but appropriateness doesn't come easily to me sometimes.

I don't mean to be a diva, but some days you wake up and you're Barbara Streisand.

We went through ten years of the Limp Bizkit thing, and I didn't know what to do.
