"In the 70s album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that... Everything has been so commercialized now," he added. "In all honesty ... I really don't be thinking about Wal-Mart when I make my music or album covers."
"I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity…So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they cover but I can't have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings.”
