We always did things our own way, as a band and because we liked it that way. It was how Soundgarden worked. I think we're in a phase now where we just don't have enough enthusiasm to record another Soundgarden album and to tour. I think it's all very natural, just like everything that Soundgarden ever did. We always did what was best for the band. So if it's best not to record an album and to stop being a band, then that be it. It's not a problem for us.

And when you said I could not stay with you. That's not the way you would have wanted to be. ~ 'For Nancy ('Cos It Already Is)'

If he wants you, then I don't want him. The man I loved wouldn't have gotten married without bothering to break off his previous engagement.
