More quotes by 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
Are you woman enough to be my man?
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
People on death row, the treatment of animals, women's right to choose. So much in America is based on religious fundamentalist Christianity. Grow up! This is the modern world!
Eddie Vedder
Dream the dreams of other men, you'll be no ones rival.
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
Music saved me I mean, my upbringing was like a hurricane, and music was the tree I held onto.
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
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
I just think that all of us in this room should have a voice in how the USA is represented. And he don't allow us our voice, that's all I'm saying.
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
Sure as I am breathing, sure as I'm sad I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh I leave here believing more than I had This love has got no ceiling
Eddie Vedder
Music's at its best when it has a purpose.
Eddie Vedder
I don't need drugs to make my life tragic.
Eddie Vedder
If it's a good cause, I'll play just about anything.
Eddie Vedder
I don't trust nobody, especially when they say something good.
Eddie Vedder
Ladies and gentleman of Florida, this is the real Jeff Ament...take a very good look because there's an imposter running around...if someone comes up to you and says he's Jeff Ament and says he wants to take your pot or wants to take you to a strip club, it's probably not him.
