Photographed by legendary Chris Nicholls, Courtney Love graces the December issue of Fashion Magazine looking like rock royalty in a $3,500 dress by Gucci at Holt Renfrew and earrings from Carole Tanenbaum Vintage Collection. The punk singer also known for her relationship with Nirvana front man, Kurt Cobain and her many stints with drug abuse, the singer has since made a new lifestyle change and we couldn’t be happier with her new outlook on life.

In the December issue hitting newstands on November 11,  Love sits down with Fashion Canada and opens up about being the Queen of Rock, never selling out and where the inspiration behind her song “Wedding Day” came from.

On the one question that is completely off-limits:

“Nobody ask me about aging gracefully, pleeease,” she implores while lighting a cigarette and getting her hair brushed. “C’mon, I took advice from Goldie Hawn when she said I should get a facelift at 35!”

On deserving public forgiveness in Hollywood:  

“Listen, if [Orange is the New Black star] Natasha Lyonne can burn down a house and Robert [Downey Jr.] can go to prison for two years, I deserve a second chance. I know there is hope for me.”

On never selling out:

“No, no, no,” she says. “There will be no biopic on me. I will never sell my publishing. I won’t let that happen. I still get hit on by guys because they want to be cast in that Kurt Cobain biopic that’s been in production for years. I could give you some [actors’] names that would blow your mind, but I am so not sleeping with someone under 38.”

On the trials of being the reigning Queen of Rock:

“I tell female artists all the time, ‘You want this crown? Stand up and get it!’” she says. “It brings in a lot of glory and it’s controversial, but it’s not as rewarding as Madonna’s job—dance music—which has lots more sales. Look, everybody wants to have a rock moment, but living a rock moment all the time is hard for anybody, including me.”

On her song “Wedding Day” off her new album:

 “I was really mad when I wrote that,” she says. “I got dumped, and [the lyric] ‘Break my neck on my wedding day’ just came out of me. I wondered about getting married. I’ve been asked twice before and said no. I just haven’t made that Jackie O move yet.”
