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.

I had to teach myself to let go of the conventional rock way of playing guitar and singing. Some things you wouldn't expect to work, did and some things won't ever work.
Chris Cornell

I don't get in there and create a character. It's more of a voice that I hear living inside the music.

An acoustic show is all about you, and any little nuance or mistake is amplified.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Be yourself is all that you can do.

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.

I feel like you're not a real musician or entertainer if you can't go into a room, pick up an instrument and entertain people.

I don't really go to clubs so I don't know what sounds are made there.

The words you say never live up to the words in your head.

It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.

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.

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.
