Courtney Love on Kurt Cobain, Trent Reznor and Rocking the Opera

Courtney sat down with Billboard at New York's Gramercy Park Hotel in Anna Sui silk pajamas and a sweater, sipping from an array of green juices that her latest collaborator, playwright-composer Todd Almond, has just brought her.

A few quotes to highlight:

Explaining that her doctor sent over two syringes to fight a cold ...
"Now you get to say you saw Courtney Love with needles," she cracks.

On chemistry with Todd and Trent Reznor ...
Love: "Physically and psychically, we mesh -- we move and feel like a couple. ... I was listening to Todd play the other day, and I remembered when I used to date Trent Reznor, who is very talented and has his own thing, but Todd's is better. ... How fabulous that I got someone better than Trent!"

On her role ...
"I understand this character's need to get out of Kansas City, but she's in love. This is real vivid, Kurt-and-me kind of love."
