Silverman, "Frances Bean Cobain: 'I'm a Different Person'", People (7 September 2005). 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. Attributed to a Teen Vogue interview She tells me to "live free and be free, but listen to other people's advice."  I listen, but I don't always follow it. Attributed to a Teen Vogue interview My favorite color is light pink.  I also like baby blue because it brings out my eyes. Attributed to a Teen Vogue interview "High School Musical Starring Frances Bean Cobain" (2008) thumb|New York is like my dream city.  That's where I'm going to live, I'm convinced of it. Frances Bean Cobain as quoted by Laura Brown, "High Sschool Musical Starring Frances Bean Cobain", HarpersBazaar.com (8 February 2008). New York is like my dream city.  That's where I'm going to live, I'm convinced of it. Mom and I…we're both very flaky people. I get it, I really do, but at the same time, it's creepy.  It's creepy to see fan sites about me. These people are fascinated by me, but I haven't done anything.  I'm famous by default.  I came out of the womb and people wanted to know who I was because of my parents.  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.  People need to wait until I've done something valid with my life. I have the attention span of a rabbit on cocaine. I can count on one hand how many people I trust. I want to be sublimely happy. "Looks like teen spirit: Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean dumps the glam for grunge" (2009) Frances Bean Cobain as quoted by Daily Mail Reporter, "Looks like teen spirit: Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean dumps the glam for grunge", DailyMail.com (20 August 2009). I don't like to look sloppy.  I'm a girlie-girl. Attributed to the Teen Vogue interview four years earlier "Frances Bean Cobain Says Dave Grohl Never Creeped on Her" (2012) Frances Bean Cobain as quoted by Christopher R. Weingarten, "Frances Bean Cobain Says Dave Grohl Never Creeped on Her", Spin (12 April 2012). While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn.  I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way.  I'm in a monogamous relationship and very happy.  Twitter should ban my mother. "Frances Bean Cobain on Life After Kurt's Death: An Exclusive Q&A" (2015) thumb|My dad was exceptionally ambitious.  But he had a lot thrown on him, exceeding his ambition.  He wanted his band to be successful.  But he didn't want to be the fucking voice of a generation. Frances Bean Cobain as quoted by David Fricke, "Frances Bean Cobain on Life After Kurt's Death: An Exclusive Q&A", Rolling Stone (8 April 2015). "Kurt got to the point where he eventually had to sacrifice every bit of who he was to his art, because the world demanded it of him," Frances says bluntly at one point.  "I think that was one of the main triggers as to why he felt he didn't want to be here and everyone would be happier without him."But "in reality, if he had lived," she goes on, "I would have had a dad.  And that would have been an incredible experience." David Fricke quoting Frances Bean Cobain It paints a portrait of a man attempting to cope with being a human. Even though Kurt died in the most horrific way possible, there is this mythology and romanticism that surrounds him, because he's 27 forever.  The shelf life of an artist or musician isn't particularly long.  Kurt has gotten to icon status because he will never age.  He will always be that relevant in that time and always be beautiful. There is, with any great artist, a little manic-ness and insanity. My dad was exceptionally ambitious.  But he had a lot thrown on him, exceeding his ambition.  He wanted his band to be successful.  But he didn't want to be the fucking voice of a generation. I don't really like Nirvana that much.  [grins]  Sorry, promotional people, Universal.  I'm more into Mercury Rev, Oasis, Brian Jonestown Massacre.  [laughs]  The grunge scene is not what I'm interested in.  But "Territorial Pissings" is a fucking great song.  And "Dumb"—I cry every time I hear that song.  It's a stripped-down version of Kurt's perception of himself—of himself on drugs, off drugs, feeling inadequate to be titled the voice of a generation. No.  I would have felt more awkward if I'd been a fan.  I was around 15 when I realized he was inescapable.  Even if I was in a car and had the radio on, there's my dad.  He's larger than life and our culture is obsessed with dead musicians.  We love to put them on a pedestal.  If Kurt had just been another guy who abandoned his family in the most awful way possible…  But he wasn't.  He inspired people to put him on a pedestal, to become St. Kurt. Response to the question, "Did you feel awkward as a teenager, not being that interested in the music Kurt made?" They [Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear] look at me, and you can see they're looking at a ghost.  …  Dave said, "She is so much like Kurt."  They were all talking amongst themselves, rehashing old stories I'd heard a million times.  I was sitting in a chair, chain-smoking, looking down like this.  [acts bored]  And they went, "You are doing exactly what your father would have done." The hardest part of doing anything creatively is just getting up and doing.  Once I get out of bed and get into my art room, I start painting.  I'm there.  And I'm doing it.
