“Nothing sounded as sincere as Nirvana's music. It took a long time for...” — Rivers Cuomo Quote

“Nothing sounded as sincere as Nirvana's music. It took a long time for me to accept that any other music could be good in other ways. Including my own.”

“I had rock-star dreams from 8 or 9 almost nonstop. I thought it was going to be like being a god on earth: having as many women as you want whenever you want them, having super powers, being incredibly wealthy, never doing laundry.”

“It's so important to me that I feel like I'm doing something that's never been done before, whether that's in the show, or I'm writing a song. I can exist in this little box here, but I have to do something new with it.”

“Nirvana really touched me as a teenager and started making me pay attention to music as a participatory thing that I could do.”

“From the time that 'Nevermind' came out in September of 1991 to the time that Nirvana was over, it was really just a few years, and a lot happened in those few years.”

“The first album that I bought was the Nirvana 'MTV Unplugged in New York' album.”
