Frasi Courtney Love
„Il nome della mia band, Hole, deriva da una conversazione con mia madre. Le persone pensano sempre che si riferisca a qualcosa di osceno; invece lei mi disse: "Courtney, non puoi andare avanti così, con questo grande buco (hole) di angoscia solo perché hai avuto un'infanzia difficile". Ed io pensai: "Hole! Che nome stupendo!"“

„Il rock è praticamente morto, almeno che non arrivi qualcuno in grado di salvarlo, i nuovi Oasis o i nuovi Nirvana. C'è bisogno di qualcosa di innovativo, qualcosa che sia in grado di toccare la vita delle persone, soprattutto di quelle più giovani. La nuova generazione, a parte poche eccezioni, è cresciuta con la musica rap e non con il rock.“

„Releasing those songs into the void, and not having the void answer back, led all of us to splinter off and attempt to make our mark by deconstructing. Instead of going forward with my tunesmithing, I went back to the beginning. And that’s what Pretty on the Inside was about.“

Contesto: Releasing those songs into the void, and not having the void answer back, led all of us to splinter off and attempt to make our mark by deconstructing. Instead of going forward with my tunesmithing, I went back to the beginning. And that’s what Pretty on the Inside was about. I said, ‘I’m not going to follow any of the songwriting values that I’ve been learning for a good seven years. Instead, I’m going to set up on my own land and make my own stake, and see where it goes.’ And the next place that takes me is Seattle, where what was happening was so heavy, and so intense.
„If I see a chick playing guitar, I’m drawn to that band immediately.“

Contesto: 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.

„Even though I now feel more confident and happy, I was really paranoid for about a year and a half. Basically, what happened was that I quit taking drugs and I walked out into the world and was sort of in this film that was really well received. So, after years of living a more destructive lifestyle, I had to, instantly, kind of court this world which had incredibly nice value systems, but with protocols that I had never encountered before. And then I had to reconcile these two worlds. You know—I want to live a happier, more productive lifestyle, but the question was, did I want to renounce being in a great rock ’n’ roll band for that? The answer was ‘No way.“

„I don't know why I ever succumbed to any of it… [but] I liked the rush of going under. It's such a high—it's like dying. I die, but then I come out prettier.“
