More quotes by 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
I don't ever want something that I didn't do because I was afraid of it or I didn't think I'd be good at it - within reason. Obviously I'm never going to be able to play the trumpet.
Chris Cornell
The words you say never live up to the words in your head.
Chris Cornell
She gives the night its dreams.
Chris Cornell
I'm looking California, And feeling Minnesota...
Chris Cornell
In the United States, workouts tend to focus on body image and how you look. For me, it's really all about the brain.
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 don't care what people think of me or for what reason they think of me. I don't feel like I don't know who I am to the degree that I have to change my hair to create a new me.
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
I got in touch with the creative process between the age of 14 and 16, mainly because I was alone so much.
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
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
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
There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.
Chris Cornell
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
Be yourself is all that you can do.
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 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
I don't really go to clubs so I don't know what sounds are made there.
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.
