“I had heard all the rumors and controversy swirling about the 'In Uter...” — Pat Smear Quote

“I had heard all the rumors and controversy swirling about the 'In Utero' recordings - there was a lot of, 'Oh, the record label hates it,' it was going to ruin the band, that kind of stuff.”

“I'm just really interested, when a band plays and they think they sucked from a band perspective.”

“My parents didn't allow rock music in the house. I actually didn't even know it existed until I was probably eleven years old.”

“I'm very proud of my record and I know that it's controversial to some, but I have as high a score as you can get from groups like the National Organization for Women, the NAACP, the League of Women Voters and on and on and on.”

“We've had a lot of controversy in our career, and it's never been intentional.”

“I love how controversial pink is. Men still feel uncomfortable wearing pink. It's ridiculous.”
