More quotes by Eddie Vedder
I don't need drugs to make my life tragic.
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
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've been writing and collecting songs on the ukulele for at least 10 years, so it was time to clear them out of the apartment building and make room for some new occupants.I need to make room for the bassoon record.
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
It's fun singing with other people who are really good singers. There's something kind of poignant about braiding a couple vocals.
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
I just finished touring, and I'm on a detox thing. It's a heavy detox, so nothing in my belly except water, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Eddie Vedder
As far as viewpoints, I think I'm more well-rounded and definitely more educated, and probably more hopeful than I used to be. I think when you're young and you get into a cause, you get frustrated with it within a few years, or six months.
Eddie Vedder
I'm optimistic yet disillusioned, hopeful yet frustrated.
Eddie Vedder
Music saved me I mean, my upbringing was like a hurricane, and music was the tree I held onto.
Eddie Vedder
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.
Eddie Vedder
If it's a good cause, I'll play just about anything.
Eddie Vedder
I had a $1.50 from playing the ukulele after owning it seven minutes. I thought, Hmmm, this has some possibilities.
Eddie Vedder
Cannot find the comfort in this world.
Eddie Vedder
Isn't Timbaland a make of shoe? It's a producer? I don't know who that is. Oh well.
Eddie Vedder
Society, you're a crazy breed.
Eddie Vedder
This little four-string songwriting tool started changing the way I brought songs to the group.
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.
