Courtney Love

"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 don't need plastic in my body to validate me as a woman."

"What makes the most money for this business? Dead rock stars."

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

"I like to behave in an extremely normal, wholesome manner for the most part in my daily life. Even if mentally I'm consumed with sick visions of violence, terror, sex and death."

"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."
