Courtney Love Wiki Biography

Courtney Love is a well known musician and actress. She is mostly known for being a member of the group called Hole, and also for being the wife of Kurt Cobain. Courtney has appeared in several popular movies, and during her career has won many awards. Some of them include the Golden Globes Award, the Boston Society of Film Critics Award, the Satellite Awards, the Florida Film Critics Circle Award and many others.

So how rich is Courtney Love? It has been estimated that Courtney’s net worth is $150 million. This sum mainly came from her career as an actress, but her other activities have also added to Love’s net worth. As she still continues her career, there is every chance that this sum of money will increase.

Courtney Michelle Harrison, known as Courtney Love, was born in 1964 in California. Her childhood was not very easy as her parents divorced and she had to live in many different places. When she was 12 years old Courtney participated in an audition for the Mickey Mouse Club. Unfortunately, no one liked her performance then, so in order to gain some money just for living, Love had to do various jobs, including being a stripper. While she was working, she also studied at Portland State University. In 1982 Courtney became more and more interested in music and formed different music projects, including “Sugar Babydoll”, “Pagan Babies” and others. Although these projects did not last long, they still added to Courtney Love’s net worth.

In 1989, Courtney together with Eric Erlandson, Lisa Roberts and Caroline Rue formed the band, called “Hole”. In 1990 the band released their first single entitled “Retard Girl”. Step by step this band became more noticed and popular. After a year they released their first album called “Pretty on the Inside”. The success of this album had a huge impact on the growth of Courtney Love’s net worth. Other albums released by “Hole” are “Live Through This”, “Nobody’s Daughter” and “Celebrity Skin”. Courtney has also released her solo album, entitled “America’s Sweetheart”, which added to Love’s net worth as well.

As mentioned before, Courtney is also a famous actress. Her acting career began when she appeared in a short film called “Club Vatican”. Later she appeared in several more movies, one of the most famous movies of which was “The People vs. Larry Flynt”. During the filming of this movie, Courtney had an opportunity to work with Woody Harrelson and Edward Norton. This movie, of course, made Courtney’s net worth grow. Other movies that she has appeared in include “Man on the Moon”, “Trapped”, “200 Cigarettes” and many more.

Finally, it can be said that Courtney Love is a very talented person. She was not only able to become popular as a musician, but also as an actress. Courtney is now 50 years old, so there is still a chance that she will appear in more movies and television shows. If this happens she will become even more famous and acclaimed as well.

Courtney Love Quotes

• [on Kathleen Hanna] I still don’t like her. She bugs me. Kathleen Hanna runs that ship [her relationship with Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz] in a way that is far more Yoko than I would be. I envision her being in a decked-out loft with a little corner for a desk that look like it belongs in a poor person’s East Village apartment, with her battered-women’s stuff and her Ms. magazines and all her communication with leading feminists.
• [on her music career with Hole] “I said this band is going to be ten times bigger than Sonic Youth but not as big as Jane’s Addiction. What was the but for?! It’s like a fucking curse! The gods were listening that day! I could have said ‘this band will be ten times bigger than Sonic Youth and The Beatles’ and that’s where we’d be right now.”
• [commenting on her brief relationship with Trent Reznor] “Trent and I had this torrid whatever-you-want-to-call-it…he said in “Details” that my alleged pregnancy would have to be immaculate conception, so I said in “Spin” ‘Don’t call your band “Nine Inch Nails” if you have a three inch one!’ My band is called “Hole.” It’s not called “big hole,” it’s not called “little hole,” it’s not called “flapping nony”, it’s not called “teeny rosebud”, it’s not called “Barbie pussy.” It’s called “Hole.””
• I like to mentor young women and encourage them to play music. It’s like teaching someone to play a sport; it doesn’t matter if they grow up to be a professional athlete. It is a skillset you can use for the rest of your life and it keeps people out of trouble. Every girl should know how to play three chords on a guitar; it should be mandatory. It will keep them out of trouble, and they’ll get any guy they want [laughs].
• [2009] I’m sober. I’m fabulous. I have a few character defects, but I’m not dishonorable and I’m not a liar. I have a good heart…I’ve never claimed to be anyone’s role model. I’m not Mother Teresa.
• I wanted to be something when I grew up, and I grew up in the ’70s. What was I gonna be, a movie star? Movie stars say other people’s words. A writer- I’m undisciplined. A rock star- that’s what I wanted to be when I was a kid.
• How can any woman be the female Jim Morrison? What Jim Morrison was was a sexual object. Women – we invented rock and roll, and sexualized men so that we could go and scream at these unattainable football captains.
• There’s a kind of appeal in vulnerability, and there’s an appeal in sort of a quantum vulnerability, where you really are exposing something. It’s like, a “haha, what are you gonna do?” kind of thing. “Yeah, come here, screw with me, I’m only, like, hanging upside down on a cross.”
• [on Hole’s successful second album, Live Through This (1994)] “It was so easy to make that I get surprised by the effect it had on people. But, you know, all good rock is easy. The riffs just came, and they were fresh from chords that I’d learned from [Billy] Corgan and Kurt [Cobain]. I wrote ‘Doll Parts’ in five minutes.”
• [on clinging to all of her late husband’s belongings in 2007] “My house is like a mausoleum. My daughter doesn’t need to inherit a giant hefty bag full of flannel shirts….A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to ‘Teen Spirit’–that’s what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we’ll just sell.”
• I am just the classic person who wants to learn stuff. I want good tutors, and with Kurt I had the best.
• [Commenting to NME on the hypocritically differing attitudes towards male and female rockstars]- You’ve got to be prepared for the names they are going to call you compared to your male peers… You will be a floozy and a slattern. He will be virile and a ladies’ man. You will be a freakshow, a retching wretch, a sloppy drunk. He will be charismatic, vainglorious, a ferocious drunk and Dionysian. You will be indiscriminate and desperate. He will be generous, tortured and driven.
• If you treat a girl like a dog, she’s going to piss on you.
• I think Andy Kaufman is to comedy what The Velvet Underground was to music- it’s like, 80 thousand records sold, but everybody who bought one started a band.
• I surrounded myself with women when I was growing up because I had this horrible psycho father. Now I’m trying to really appreciate and like men more.
• [on her father] He managed the Grateful Dead for five seconds, and he was an amateur acid-maker.
• Drugs have nothing to do with the creation of music. In fact, they are dumb and self indulgent. Kind of like sucking your thumb.
• If I write a song about being a teenage prostitute, that doesn’t mean that I was a teenage prostitute, any more than it means Kurt raped Polly.
• [on the changing state of the music industry] It’s a radical time for musicians, a really revolutionary time, and I believe revolutions [like Napster] are a lot more fun than cash, which, by the way, we don’t have at major labels anyway, so we might as well get with it and get in the game.
• “Knowing me, I’d probably end up at a bar, asking some guy to get me another martini. Still bleaching my hair at 59.” (her response to what she thinks she’ll be like when she’s old.)
• “Being famous is just like being in high school. But, I’m not interested in being the cheerleader. I’m not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She’s the cheerleader, and I’m out in the smoker shed. And plenty of you are out there in the smoker shed too. When it comes to rock ‘n’ roll, it’s just like high school” (From an interview in the August 2004 Seventeen magazine).
• “You’re no one in the rock industry unless you’ve feuded with me or slept with Winona Ryder.
• “Cocaine is like really evil coffee.” (What she told her daughter about drugs.)
• “I’m not going to hurt anybody other than that dick who keeps writing songs about me” –about Dave Grohl in a Howard Stern interview.
• I’m not a woman, I’m a force of nature.
