Courtney Love citations

Courtney Michelle Love Cobain, née Courtney Michelle Harrison [ˈkɔɹtni mɪˈʃɛl lʌv koʊbeɪn], est une musicienne, actrice et artiste visuelle américaine née le 9 juillet 1964 à San Francisco. Elle est la veuve de Kurt Cobain, le leader du groupe Nirvana, avec qui elle a eu une fille, Frances Bean Cobain.

Elle est la chanteuse et guitariste du groupe Hole, formé en 1989 avec Eric Erlandson. Hole devient en deux ans, notamment par l'idéologie féministe et punk du groupe, un élément populaire de la scène grunge de Seattle, alors en pleine émergence, avec par exemple la sortie de leur album Live Through This, en 1994. Les liaisons entre Courtney et Kurt Cobain ont également aidé à l’expansion dans la culture populaire.

Courtney Love a eu un impact sur le féminisme des années 1990, plus particulièrement sur le mouvement Riot grrrl. Elle est citée comme influence non négligeable sur les musiciennes de rock, notamment pour avoir déclaré : « Je veux que toutes les filles du monde prennent une guitare et se mettent à crier ».

Courtney Love: Citations en anglais

“Releasing those songs into the void, and not having the void answer back, led all of us to splinter off and attempt to make our mark by deconstructing. Instead of going forward with my tunesmithing, I went back to the beginning. And that’s what Pretty on the Inside was about.”

Courtney Love

On the failure of her first band, Sugar Babydoll, and the subsequent beginnings of her career, interview with The Georgia Straight (1999)
1996–2005
Contexte: Releasing those songs into the void, and not having the void answer back, led all of us to splinter off and attempt to make our mark by deconstructing. Instead of going forward with my tunesmithing, I went back to the beginning. And that’s what Pretty on the Inside was about. I said, ‘I’m not going to follow any of the songwriting values that I’ve been learning for a good seven years. Instead, I’m going to set up on my own land and make my own stake, and see where it goes.’ And the next place that takes me is Seattle, where what was happening was so heavy, and so intense.

Contexte: If I see a chick playing guitar, I’m drawn to that band immediately. I want to know everything, even if it’s completely electronic. But you have to really get my attention if you’re male. I can’t help it. It’s part of my nature.

“I wore a dress that was so restricting and shoes that were five inches high, I could barely stage-dive. Then I got the best write-ups, for being feminine, I guess. I couldn’t move well and I was restrained, which equals great review. That’s pretty horrid.”
