More quotes by Chris Cornell
If you're an American kid, you can't help but be influenced by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and the Rolling Stones because they're always on the radio.
Chris Cornell
If I'm going to go out to be a solo artist, it's because I want to do something different without having to wait on someone else's schedule or hobbies or be limited by other people's prejudices. I'd be kind of stupid not to exercise that.
Chris Cornell
And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.
Chris Cornell
The freedom I have as a U.S. citizen is unparalleled. Despite the fact people may not like American passports, having that passport affords me more freedoms than any other passport could.
Chris Cornell
Be yourself is all that you can do.
Chris Cornell
Led Zeppelin is just a bunch of stupid idiots who wrote cool riffs.
Chris Cornell
I'm looking California, And feeling Minnesota...
Chris Cornell
It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.
Chris Cornell
My brother brought home 'At San Quentin' when I was about 7, and we played it over and over again.
Chris Cornell
Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave. I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavours.
Chris Cornell
She gives the night its dreams.
Chris Cornell
Sometimes, if a song is written, in essence, to be that stripped down, it's very touchy when you start adding things, because even the smallest thing can have a huge impact. Somebody has to make the decision that there's a better song in there if there's less.
Chris Cornell
The words you say never live up to the words in your head.
Chris Cornell
Most frontmen are not born hams like David Lee Roth. We're more like Joey Ramone: awkward geeks who somehow find our place in the world on the stage.
Chris Cornell
An acoustic show is all about you, and any little nuance or mistake is amplified.
Chris Cornell
There's something about losing friends, particularly young people, where it's not something that you get over. I don't believe there's a healing process.
Chris Cornell
I actually think to some degree that people are down for longer shows with an acoustic show.
Chris Cornell
I've had a long career and I want to continue to have a long career. The way to do that is not to go away.
Chris Cornell
There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.
Chris Cornell
'The Beatles' did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minimalist aggressive rock.
