More quotes by Eddie Vedder
I don't know how people do it these days - paparazzi and that kind of thing. That's something I can't even imagine.
Eddie Vedder
Cannot find the comfort in this world.
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
I would do anything to be around music. You don't even have to pay me.
Eddie Vedder
Music saved me I mean, my upbringing was like a hurricane, and music was the tree I held onto.
Eddie Vedder
I think a lot of things are written from experience, but then you become a writer and talk about other people's experience and you tell stories. I mean, you can't just tell your own story all the time.
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
If at noon you sit down and there's just silence or blank tape, in an hour if you have a song, that didn't exist an hour ago. Now it exists and it might exist for a long time. There's something empowering about that.
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
Music was your real passion, this thing you held dear even above family. It was this relationship that never betrayed you. Once it became your job - this thing that was highly visible, this thing that became about commerce - that's when you were holding onto music like it was a palm tree in a hurricane.
Eddie Vedder
It's important to have a life and spend time outside of those things [music and politics], in order to appreciate what you've achieved as far as just spending time with people you love, and doing things like painting.
Eddie Vedder
The nice thing about money is that you can do good things with it. I still feel like if something needs to be done or we need to raise money for someone on death row, we can find ways to do it.
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
Isn't Timbaland a make of shoe? It's a producer? I don't know who that is. Oh well.
Eddie Vedder
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied.
Eddie Vedder
Singing someone else's songs is like keeping your clothes on.
Eddie Vedder
Music's at its best when it has a purpose.
Eddie Vedder
It's an art to live with pain... mix the light into gray.
Eddie Vedder
Darkness comes in waves...tell me, why invite it to stay?
Eddie Vedder
I don't trust nobody, especially when they say something good.
