Courtney often had trouble figuring out how to end a song. New songs were her thing, shiny new songs and pretty parts without endings. I think she wanted to stay inside the song, the way you never want a feeling to end.

courtney love + paul rudd on the set of 200 cigarettes. 1998.

"this photo was taken on day 1 of our shoot of 200 cigarettes. we started with paul and courtney in bed for what would be one of our final scenes in the movie. we were all really nervous and awkward and tense. and everyone was smoking a lot of cigarettes. even me-who didn’t smoke- but the movie was called 200 cigarettes so why not smoke till we gagged, just to push through our fears?" - risa bramon garcia, director
