More quotes by Eddie Vedder
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.
Eddie Vedder
I would do anything to be around music. You don't even have to pay me.
Eddie Vedder
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.
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
I'm not ready to be that guy who can meet with world leaders and all that. It's tremendous what Bono does. I don't know if I could do it, not the way he does. I don't think many people could.
Eddie Vedder
If it's a good cause, I'll play just about anything.
Eddie Vedder
If you're anti-war it doesn't mean you are 'Pro' one side or the other in a conflict. However, it does make you 'Pro' many thingsPro-Peace, Pro-Human, Pro-Evolution, it makes you Pro-Communication, Pro-Diplomacy, Pro-Love, Pro-Understanding, Pro-Forgiveness.
Eddie Vedder
At a certain point, you realize you have a responsibility more behind yourself and your need for adrenaline. I'm glad I did things in my 20s that were more reckless.
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
So my one kid's 4, my other kid's 4 months, I'm 44, Barack Obama is the 44th president - it's all lining up nicely here.
Eddie Vedder
On bended knee is no way to be free lifting up an empty cup I ask silently that all my destinations will accept the one that's me so I can breath Circles they grow and they swallow people whole half their lives they say goodnight to wive's they'll never know got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul so it goes.
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 just don't understand, if they see numbers [of CEO salaries]that represent people, how they can somehow skirt around that and morally justify taking or ruining those lives and leaving them with nothing. That, to me, is violent crime. It's certainly more violent than selling grams of pot to other adults.
Eddie Vedder
At some point, when you read about this factual information that comes out in The New Zealand Herald and it's barely mentioned in The New York Times, then I think you've got to question where this is being manipulated, and where the filters are.
Eddie Vedder
War hurts. It hurts no matter which sides the bombs are falling on.
Eddie Vedder
After the Ramones, it was more about new wave for me than punk.
Eddie Vedder
It seems like every time I start to feel good, something really awful happens. It's like... it's really terrible.
Eddie Vedder
I'm optimistic yet disillusioned, hopeful yet frustrated.
Eddie Vedder
I probably get strangers coming up to me two or three times a week to just say something nice.
Eddie Vedder
The smallest oceans still make big big waves.
