Courtney Love believes acting helps her stay in control of her life

She said: "I'll never outgrow it [music], but acting offers a better lifestyle at my age.

"I have to show up early, act responsible and can't be a brat."

Courtney is also currently working on her upcoming autobiography, but admits she has to make a lot of edits, as some of the contents are too shocking to publish.

Asked about the memoir, she told Us Weekly magazine: "Fixing it now to make it less salacious. It was too rock n' roll."

The rocker recently revealed she has lost "about $27 million" of "Nirvana money" during her career and life.

The wild rock chick - the widow of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994 - accepts it is a "lifetime of money"

but she has no regrets about spending the cash.

She said: "I lost about $27 million - I know that's a lifetime of money to most people, but I'm a big girl, it's rock 'n' roll, it's Nirvana money, I had to let it go."
