More quotes by Chris Cornell
Be yourself is all that you can do.
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
If you are trying to think ahead musically, it is not going to help you. It is better to ignore what is happening melodically and just look at the little dots coming at you and the corresponding colors and try to do it at the right time.
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 get in there and create a character. It's more of a voice that I hear living inside the music.
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.
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
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
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
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
There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.
Chris Cornell
An acoustic show is all about you, and any little nuance or mistake is amplified.
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
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.
Chris Cornell
I don't really go mountain biking per se, like a proper sport.
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
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
I actually think to some degree that people are down for longer shows with an acoustic show.
