Courtney Love Talks Kurt Cobain, Scientology & Relationships | Friday Night With Jonathan Ross

this, I'm coming, okay, what am I going to do right? A few things come to mind, hey Courtney, now you. I mentioned you're a Buddhist now, okay, you've tried. I think you've gotten involved in other religions in other ways. Not really. I mean, I've always come back to Buddhism. You know, I've always gone back to nature. and Buddhism when I was 23 I did it um and it worked to get my band together it worked to get my band big it worked to get me rich all those things then I had everything I got and then I wanted to just sing for a nirvana tour I ended up with a husband nirvana blah blah blah then I got everything I wanted then I quit but but but and then I did it again uh years later I did it again I ended up with that wonderful Larry Flynn movie that I ended up with a great boyfriend who really It didn't have any big problems but Courtney let me ask you do you really think it was singing that gave you these breaks in your life or was it the fact that by doing that and by being focused on something that was maybe outside of the other things in your life? life.

You know that you are more capable of taking advantage of opportunities when they present themselves. I mean, do you think there's some kind of force that you

love

and someone says you know this is working and I'm going to do it? leave this or do you think that by singing you become I have faith in the system that works I mean it's a philosophy more than anything else, but it's also a practice did you try it? you were involved in

scientology

for a well the size that you You know, you know, I mean size, size is great and I went to the size celebrity center and ate some chicken several times because it's essentially a modern religion and there's no Which is why I don't think I should have done it. the same thing, you know, the respect that other religions have, but at the same time it gets a little weird, yeah, well, what's so weird about Scientology?

Well, there are some weird things, you know, I mean, in my opinion, the guy who founded it, his writing sometimes gets really nasty and like we saw at Tom Cruise's wedding you know, a cat, a pot, a frying pan, a parody, a comb, a kitten, you know, I mean, a lot of the writing is like that, it's demonstrative of a lot of the writing and then he rewrote Darwinism and he wrote that we, oh God, all the sides are going to hate me now, okay, no, you don't know, he wrote that we come from mollusks, he wrote that we come from clams and that's it and when we get angry now maybe I'm interpreting this wrong, but when we get angry it's 'cause we used to be clams and our hinges are confused now I'm not trying to pick on him, it's just that you know I'm very dear friends with Kirstie Alley, you know I'm friends with very, very size and you know, me and she's cool because you can make fun of her about it and say what's up with the mollusks, what's up with the hinge, tell me about the clues and the answer is her answer is that it's my religion and I.

Believe it, yeah, that's not all, so you know God bless you, that's how I absolutely feel, you know they have the right to believe that everyone is smart, whatever they want, hinged or unhinged and unhinged. I like the sound. In fact, I'm quite tempted by that now. The whole mollusk theory makes some sense to me. I suspect there was a seafood foundation in my life. Yes, there is an intergalactic overlord and now I'm hooked. Now I'm sold. No doubt about it. They have another recruiter. No. I mean, they're really nice. You know, I've never met a side I didn't like.

Courtney. You know, I didn't know what to expect when I first saw you in the movie. I don't know if you saw Courtney in any of her movies. I thought you were sensational in the Larry Flint movie. Thank you and that was a fabulous performance, I thought, and also excellent in It was called Man on the Moon, the gym, yeah, yeah. This is a clip of Courtney in action with Jim Carrey in Man on the Moon. It is a charming scene. I

love

that movie. It's a sad movie, but kind of charming. The book is called Dirty Blonde.

They are very frank. uh, I know you've obviously held some things back, but it's a very frank look and a very, you know, it's a fascinating look at the life and history of a very fascinating and complex person. I think it's okay, thank you, support me. I'm excited you came on the show. I'm so excited that you had me well, thank you, I'm, I'm, I'm a fan of yours, ladies and gentlemen, Courtney Love, thank you, thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen.
