Kurt: "I've already broke three guitars that I liked a lot, and I regretted it the minute I left the stage, but whatever, I can't do anything about it. It's out of my control."

Interviewer: "Where did you pick up this habit?"

Kurt: "I guess it's linked to a feeling of insecurity. In the beginning of Nirvana, we had a drummer that wasn't very good in my opinion. Out of rage and disgust, I sometimes left the stage throwing material. I realized that people liked it. And me, too, I loved doing it at the climax of the show. It compensated for not having a light show. I really don't know why I do that. I think it's the typical attitude of a frustrated little white guy. It also makes me feel alive."

-interview by Youri Lenquette, 23-25 Jan 1992 (from Cobain on Cobain by Nick Soulsby)
