Been A Son

October, 1992 interview.
SPIN Magazine: “How did the childhood and teenage years affect your choice of career?”

Courtney: “I was moved around a lot. I have a really dysfunctional family. My mother is really detached. My real father is insane. The only good person in my family is my stepfather. He wasn’t in my life that much, though, and I was in institutions. I was in juvenile hall for four years, boarding school for three years.”

Kurt: “I had a really good childhood up until I was nine years old. Then a classic case of divorce really affected me and I moved back and forth between relatives all the time. And I just became extremely depressed and withdrawn.”

Courtney: “But he was a boy and so he would go and live under the bridge or he’d go live in a fort. I mean, he really did. Whereas, I was a girl and I could run away and do more glamorous things because people would help me.”

“I had a shitty life till I was about 17. I sat in my room for 90 per cent of the time. I’d go home after school, play my guitar and listen to music. The States seemed so big to me that I thought I’d never leave the region. At a younger age, everything seemed so simple and easy, I thought I could be President. By the age of nine, I pretty much gave up any idea of ever even surviving the age of 21 because I felt so completely alienated. I probably alienated myself more than the other way round. I was always trying find someone who liked art or music, but it was always sports.” - Kurt Cobain.
