Courtney Love

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.

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.

Warren Beatty took an interest in my career at one point.

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

In rock stardom there's an absolute economic upside to self-destruction.

I'll always prefer to play with women and hang out with women, and I'll always be a feminist.

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

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.

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.

I'm clean and sober for over a year and no one seems to care! They're like, 'Oh, her dramatic weight gain.' So, stop making fun of me!

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

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