I don't like to look sloppy. I'm a girly-girl.

I'm a different person. I don't want to be titled as Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain's daughter. I want to be thought of as Frances Cobain.

I don't like to look sloppy. I'm a girly-girl.

My look is a Modern Bohemian type thing.

I have 137 pairs of shoes and 200 pairs of jeans.

I can count on one hand how many people I trust.

I'm famous by default. I came out of the womb, and people wanted to know who I was because of my parents.

I'm really lucky, because I've been able to go places and meet people you can only dream of.

If you're a big Nirvana fan, a big Hole fan, then I understand why you would want to get to know me, but I'm not my parents.

It's creepy to see fan sites about me.

So I have been careful about where I go and who I hang out with because if you tell someone the wrong thing, then it's everywhere.

These people are fascinated by me, but I haven't done anything.

Twitter should ban my mother.

We've moved so much, and my life has been so inconsistent.

While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn.

My parents were really nice to me.

Superheroes don't often get their powers in one fell swoop. It's like superhero puberty.

On red carpets, as people throw questions at you, you try and answer as quickly as possible.

Americans are fed up with how things are going in the country right now. They see more job losses, rising debt and plummeting home sales. They feel let down by a government that passes one 2,000-page, trillion-dollar law after another instead of focusing on addressing the problems Americans worry about every day.

Letting go is not a onetime thing, it's something you have to do everyday, over and over again.

What I love about Popsicle and the moments I can be with Camden is that their whole philosophy is family and these moments that it can create to just sit with my son, read a comic book or go outside on a hot day, take a swim and have a Popsicle treat with him.

Enlightenment is the realization of the oneness of being, where otherness disappears.

I lived in an area where there were a lot of rock musicians, and we got together regularly in our studios.

Once there was a boy so meek and modest, he was awarded a Most Humble badge. The next day, it was taken away because he wore it. Here endeth the lesson.

People tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think. Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then at a certain point, if you're lucky, you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life.

Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something, or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe, and which mean very little.

I never realised 'The Return' would take so long to make - it was a very tough 'political experience,' and the post production in L.A. seemed to go on forever.

I don't know if people understand that there are different ways to raise money for great causes.

The American escalation of the war in Laos provoked a response by the Communist forces, which now control more of Laos than ever before.

Sometimes I'm asked if I do research for my stories. The answer is yes and no. No, in the sense that I seldom plow through books at the library to gather material. Yes, in the sense that the first fifteen years of my life turned out to be one big research project.

It's one day at a time, that's all there is to it, and so I don't have to worry about it. All I do is, okay, I do not have to drink. And if I feel like it, I postpone it for ten minutes, and that way I find something else to do in the meantime.

I remember in '37 when trolley cars were so big in New York. It was five cents for a ride... There used to be open-air buses, and you could go up a spiral staircase and sit up on top. Those were great, great days.

The best things come to those who never give up

I love boats. I can be on a boat for days.

Rendezvous day is the third day of our mission, and that's a big day for us.
