More quotes by Chris Cornell
Maybe sincerity is the new punk. But to me, I think I have to connect with something emotionally, on some level, or I don't care about it. And if I don't care about it, then I don't think anyone listening to it will, either.
Chris Cornell
They always say that the entertainment and restaurant industries are the only businesses that don't sink during a depression or a recession. I've done both, and I recommend to anyone who wants to be a rock star, if that doesn't pan out, become a cook.
Chris Cornell
Led Zeppelin is just a bunch of stupid idiots who wrote cool riffs.
Chris Cornell
I play Texas Hold'em on my Blackberry. I have amassed a fortune on that. I have almost 30 million dollars from playing. It is unreal.

Chris Cornell

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
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
I'm looking California, And feeling Minnesota...
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
I don't really go mountain biking per se, like a proper sport.
Chris Cornell
An acoustic show is all about you, and any little nuance or mistake is amplified.
Chris Cornell
There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.
Chris Cornell
She gives the night its dreams.
Chris Cornell
I got in touch with the creative process between the age of 14 and 16, mainly because I was alone so much.
Chris Cornell
I don't think there are too many rock bands in history that can look at the beginning and middle and ending of themselves and see what I see when I think of Soundgarden. I think from the beginning through the middle and the end it was such a perfect ride and such a perfect legacy to leave.
Chris Cornell
I can go from one extreme to another, from playing at the Sydney Opera House on the Songbook tour to shows with Soundgarden at Voodoo Fest, all in a week.
