sky made of amethysts

Don't let people treat you like a cigarette, they only use you when they're bored and step on you when they're done. Be like drugs, let them die for you.

“I’m not pouting. I’m not playing anything up. I don’t have parents that I acknowledge. I’m nobody’s daughter. I’m nobody’s wife. I’m nobody’s bitch. I’m nobody’s daughter. I’m nobody’s widow. I’m somebody’s mother. Other than that, I don’t identify with these other female roles I’m supposed to have.”

„I’ve had some successes and I’ve had some failures, and failure is really hard to overcome. I don’t have a lot of advice because I haven’t done it, but I’m trying to do it. It’s so hard. I think the stuff you have to do is super plebeian. You’ve gotta to stay weird and you’ve gotta exercise. If you’re an addict or something—which I am—you’ve gotta pray. And then you’ve gotta sit down and write 20 longhand pages. This has to be small writing, the smaller the better. You write pages of shit. It doesn’t matter what you write. It’s your way of releasing something creative in your life every morning. It’s so dumb, but it helps. You’ve gotta feel safe to fail.“ - Courtney interviewed in InterviewMagazine,2019.

“Well, I’m not a fucking legacy act!  I’ll put it that way.  The minute that someone actually calls me that, I’m going to punch them, and if it were to actually be true, I would just quit.  There’s no way.  Calling it by my own name is kind of definitive at this point.  It’s not a legal obligation – I’m just sick of arguing about what the original Hole line-up is. If you want the original Hole line-up, you’re in for a not good time. “

Courtney Love interviewed by BYT, 2013.

“The name of my band came from a conversation I had with my mother.  People always think it's obscene.  And I guess it has that on top of it.  As someone who always wanted to be a poet, there was no money in it.  I've always been looking for the quadruple entendre, you know, the barge, you know, what Shakespeare could do.  And my mother said to me "Now Courtney, you know you can't walk around with a hole in yourself just because you had a bad childhood."  And I remember thinking "What a brilliant name, HOLE."

“My goal keeps me alive and no personal issue is going to interfere with that. If people try to put me in the crazy box–'crazy fucking Courtney'–go ahead. But if you think you're going to stop me from where I'm going, you're not going to do it. I work my ass off. I deliver the goddamn goods. And I will deliver them again."

"I have always been vain in some way. All women are dichotomies, with a beautiful, sensual, passive side, and a monster, sexual, aggressive side."

“I’ve also had horrible things happen to me. Horrible, horrible things. Not only have I had a member of my band die that everyone knows about, but I’ve had 14 members in my band and two others of them have passed away that aren’t as well-known. And I’ve been a widow, and I’ve had to withstand some real bullshit. So, it’s not that I’m smug by any means; I’m very humble. I’m very confident, not arrogant, and there’s a big difference between that self-assurance and not being swayed by the eight winds. “

- Courtney about her life.  

[cocainesflower-kid]

“I don’t think the media, or our generation, ever experienced a celebrity with my choices before—somebody that was actually worth something in the music community proving they were worth something in the film community. The cynical question became then: ‘What’s she going to choose?’ Are you going to choose the bourgeois road to the upper middle class, where you are mollycoddled, or are you going to prove what a punker you are by walking down a road to destruction? I’ve never had to deal with any of that before, and that’s where the paranoia came from.”

-Courtney Love interview excerpt from the Vaults,1999

[cocainesflower-kid]

“ This record was really hard, because I didn’t want to address Kurt’s death in a way where all the songs would be about living in this house with my daughter, going through this horrible thing, and how it’s taken me years to deal with it. The abstract terror and horror of what happened is obviously there, but the gravity of it has still not dawned on me to a certain degree. I know that it will be an albatross on my daughter—and I have very definitive ways of protecting her from that. The main thing was that I knew that, creatively, I wasn’t going to respond through my music.”

Hey do you know what johnnie's in the bathroom is about?

it doesn't have any significant meaning, i guess. I think it just describes how badly courtney wanted to be a model but always got compared to a slut? I`m not sure, just my opinion.

all the love xx
