Krist: I love you.
-Q Magazine, March 2003
"It's like the greatest love affair, but with three people."
-Dave, describing his relationship with Kurt and Krist, 1999 allstarnews.com (recorded in Nirvana: A Day by Day Eyewitness Chronicle by Carrie Borzillo)
"Chris and Shelli broke up. God am I relieved! [...] I'm very content with the relationship Chris, Chad and I have. We get along great and have a lot of dedicated fun."
-Kurt, Journals (hardcover ed. 2002) pg. 30-31 (late 1980s, exact date unknown)

"Kurt heard that, and kissed me on the face, as he was in a bath. He was so excited. He was like, 'I heard you recorded some stuff with Barrett [Jones].' I was like, 'Yeah.' He was like, 'Let me hear it.' I was too afraid to be in the same room as he listened to it."
-Dave, on showing Kurt his demo tapes, including Alone + Easy Target (Nov. 2014, Sonic Highways, HBO)
"Did you know that I'm gay? Then I got married to a hermaphrodite [referring to rumors about Courtney]. But if somebody tried to take away my gay rights it would have been really bad, because I really like to buttfuck. It's fun. It feels good."
-Kurt at the No On 9 gay rights benefit gig, 10 Sept 1992
"Dear Kurt,
It's been 20 years since you left and I think about you every day.
- Love, Krist"
-5 Apr. 2014, Krist's Twitter
"Bands can recover from bad hair, from genres that have disappeared, from members quitting, or lineup changes. The things that bands can't recover from are death and drugs. And that's bottom line.
If there were anything I could tell a young band, it'd be just "Don't do coke." Go take Ecstasy and fuck your friends and buy giant bags of weed and wear a condom.
But it happens over and over again anyway. Musicians are a funny bunch of idealistic dreamers and self-destructive depressives. Those are the type of people that usually flash out quick."
-Dave, Spin Magazine 1 Aug 2005
"I remember seeing him in high school a few times and thinking he was definitely somebody I wanted to meet. But I never saw him other than at pep assemblies. He would usually participate in some kind of a skit, or something. And I remember thinking, God, he was this really clever, funny, loudmouth person.
"I kept, you know, always making it obvious that I wanted to be in a band, I wanted someone to play with, but still Chris never wanted to. Until I made the Fecal Matter tape with Dale and always making it available for Chris to hear, and he just never bothered to listen to it until one day he just came over and said, "I finally listened to that tape you made. It's pretty good. You know, we should start a band." Ok! Finally! [laughs]"
