Kurt: I always wanted to move to the big city. I wanted to move to Seattle, find a chicken hawk, sell my ass, and be a punk rocker, but I was too afraid. So I just stayed in Aberdeen for too long, until I was 20 years old.

SPIN: Forgive me for being uneducated, but when you said "chicken hawk"--

Kurt: A chicken hawk is, like, an older gay man.

SPIN: Okay.

Kurt: Who sells children, like in Oliver Twist, you know.

-Spin Magazine, December 1992
