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

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
Are you woman enough to be my man?
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
I don't trust nobody, especially when they say something good.
Eddie Vedder
It just seemed like I would. I mean, I didn't know him on a daily basis -- far from it. But, in a way, I don't even feel right being here without him. It's so difficult to really believe he's gone. I still talk about him like he's still here, you know. I can't figure it out. It doesn't make any sense.
Eddie Vedder
I feel like we have to keep our eyes on the road. Being nostalgic is like taking an offramp and getting a sandwich - and then you get back on the highway. I don't want to be spending the rest of my life at the gas station.
Eddie Vedder
Yeah, we'll play that. You want fries with that?
Eddie Vedder
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 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
This little four-string songwriting tool started changing the way I brought songs to the group.
Eddie Vedder
War hurts. It hurts no matter which sides the bombs are falling on.
Eddie Vedder
Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic.
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
I am a thief, I am a liar, I am George Bush and my son is an asshole.
Eddie Vedder
Worship the music, not the musicians.
Eddie Vedder
Everytime I see the Spice Girls, it makes me want to try to fly by climbing my roof and strapping bricks to my shoes.
Eddie Vedder
Isn't Timbaland a make of shoe? It's a producer? I don't know who that is. Oh well.
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
