More quotes by 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.

Society, you're a crazy breed.

I had a $1.50 from playing the ukulele after owning it seven minutes. I thought, Hmmm, this has some possibilities.
Eddie Vedder
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down.
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
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.

I had a long talk with Bruce Springsteen on a rooftop during the Vote for Change tour (in 2004). And it boiled down to this: That guy you used to be, he’s still in the car. He’ll always be in the car. Just don’t let him drive. He might be shouting out directions. But whatever you do, don’t let him get behind the wheel.

I believe in the power of music. To me, it isn't just a fad. This is a positive thing.

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.

This little four-string songwriting tool started changing the way I brought songs to the group.

Die on a hilltop... eyeing the crows... waiting for your lids to close... but you want to watch as they peck your flesh... Ironic that they go for the eyes first.
Eddie Vedder
We've got clouds and rain, just like in Seattle .. but Sao Paulo is better.
Eddie Vedder
The love received is the love that is saved.
Eddie Vedder
I was able to apply ukulele to whatever I'm trying to write. It's become part of songwriting for me, the knowledge I gained from hearing the melodies come out, and then applying that to guitar or vocals.

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
I probably get strangers coming up to me two or three times a week to just say something nice.
Eddie Vedder
I am a thief, I am a liar, I am George Bush and my son is an asshole.

There are times where I would keep three typewriters on a table, and I'd have three complete thoughts going. With computers, you make folders, files - I don't know about those things. I have sheaves of paper polluted with words and paragraphs. I found it a good tool for me. And it keeps your hands strong for guitar playing.
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.

Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic.
