I was living on the wrong side of the tracks in Evanston, Illinois, in a home for boys. We had these Jackson 5 records. I really related to their voices - they were about my age, but they were doing it.

More quotes by Eddie Vedder
I would thank God, but I don't believe in it.
Eddie Vedder
You know, rock stardom... I have a hard time discussing that because I don't really accept it. It's not really that tangible. What's really bizarre is how it's used as a thing - you know, 'He's the rock star of politics,' 'He's the rock star of quarterbacks' - like it's the greatest thing in the world.
Eddie Vedder
I think celebrities suck.
Eddie Vedder
When it comes to grunge or even just Seattle, I think there was one band that made the definitive music of the time. It wasn't us or Nirvana, but Mudhoney. Nirvana delivered it to the world, but Mudhoney were the band of that time and sound.
Eddie Vedder
Caffeine. The gateway drug.
Eddie Vedder
Music saved me I mean, my upbringing was like a hurricane, and music was the tree I held onto.
Eddie Vedder
i change by not changing at all
Eddie Vedder
This little four-string songwriting tool started changing the way I brought songs to the group.
Eddie Vedder
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down.
Eddie Vedder
It's understandable why someone would like their entertainment to provide an escape from modern day worries and the reality of war. We feel this record creates a healthy opportunity to process some of these emotions rather than deny them.
Eddie Vedder
Are you woman enough to be my man?
Eddie Vedder
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.
Eddie Vedder
I learned so much about music by playing this little, miniature songwriting machine [ukulele], especially about melody. The motto is less strings more melody.
Eddie Vedder
You feel that no matter what's said in the music or how pointed it may get, the most you can wish for is that it plants a few seeds.
Eddie Vedder
I don't work so hard at trying to get every song to be three-dimensional and mean so much. I just want to breathe, right now, with the music.
Eddie Vedder
Though some may think there should be a separation between art/music and politics, it should be reinforced that art can be a form of nonviolent protest.
Eddie Vedder
War hurts. It hurts no matter which sides the bombs are falling on.
Eddie Vedder
The Republicans initially sort of saw George W. Bush as a blank canvas, didn't they? It seems like they interviewed him when he was governor of Texas to see what kind of candidate he could be.
Eddie Vedder
If he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?
Eddie Vedder
Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere Underneath my being is a road that disappeared Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead Overhead.
Eddie Vedder
