More quotes by 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
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 words you say never live up to the words in your head.
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
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
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
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
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
There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.
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
Be yourself is all that you can do.
Chris Cornell
I actually think to some degree that people are down for longer shows with an acoustic show.
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
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
My brother brought home 'At San Quentin' when I was about 7, and we played it over and over again.
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
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.
Chris Cornell
I got in touch with the creative process between the age of 14 and 16, mainly because I was alone so much.
