November, 1993:

Interviewer: “Are you and the band fully over any arena-phobia you might have had not so long ago?”

Kurt Cobain: “It’s simply a matter of getting used to something. If you don’t like broccoli, force yourself to eat it if you wanna get vitamin C. Eventually you might enjoy it. We had no choice but to do it. We couldn’t have gone on tour and played a bunch of clubs unless we wanted to not allow a lot of people who wanted to see us to see us. This is the first tour we’ve done on a bus and with the luxury of having a backstage - all the basics you’re denied in clubs. We don’t have to scrounge for money to buy a hamburger at McDonalds, and those are the kind of luxuries I used to scoff at. They were thing a person ‘doesn’t need’ because I was so into the ‘starving artist’ frame of mind, but it all really does help out.”
