I'm optimistic yet disillusioned, hopeful yet frustrated.
Eddie Vedder

Sometimes, whether you like it or not, people elevate you. It's real easy to fall.
Eddie Vedder

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to say things. I'm a little exhausted by the process.

I don't trust nobody, especially when they say something good.

Our influences are who we are. It's rare that anything is an absolutely pure vision even Daniel Johnston sounds like the Beatles. And that's the problem with the bands I'm always asked about, the ones derivative of the early Seattle sound. They don't dilute their influences enough.

After the Ramones, it was more about new wave for me than punk.

I feel like we have to keep our eyes on the road. Being nostalgic is like taking an offramp and getting a sandwich - and then you get back on the highway. I don't want to be spending the rest of my life at the gas station.

I got a great grandma. Her name is Pearl, and she was at one time married to an Indian chief, who, in a wonderful crossing of cultures, she integrated some of his, and some of hers, and um, it was a combination of peyote and preserves, and it was this hallucinogenic jam.

When I had a child, everyone was telling me that I was going to see the world through her eyes, and everything was going to get this nice gloss to it. I kept waiting for that to happen, and thought there was a real problem with me that it wasn't.

I just have this deep kind of connection to reality of being like... in a way, I feel like a dock worker. I want to stay in connection with my dock-worker side, 'cause that's how I grew up.

I probably get strangers coming up to me two or three times a week to just say something nice.

Are you woman enough to be my man?

It's more like you write what comes to you... You try to reflect the mood of the songs. Take 'Rearviewmirror', we start off with the music and it kinds of propels the lyrics. It made me feel like I was in a car, leaving something, a bad situation. There's an emotion there. I remembered all the times I wanted to leave.

I'm probably never happier than when I'm by myself in the water. What I've worked and sacrificed for is not to be on stage playing music but to surf in some secluded place. It's a grounding element. Waves don't care who you are.

That makes it even more offensive to me that she's interested in our band and she did something for Slaughter.

I've never been a calm, midrange type person.

I would do anything to be around music. You don't even have to pay me.
