More quotes by 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
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
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
It seems like every time I start to feel good, something really awful happens. It's like... it's really terrible.
Eddie Vedder
I probably get strangers coming up to me two or three times a week to just say something nice.
Eddie Vedder
I just don't understand, if they see numbers [of CEO salaries]that represent people, how they can somehow skirt around that and morally justify taking or ruining those lives and leaving them with nothing. That, to me, is violent crime. It's certainly more violent than selling grams of pot to other adults.
Eddie Vedder
If I'm not on tour or in the studio, I'm in nature somewhere, usually some kind of ocean. Playing music has afforded me that. It's not lost on me that it's a tremendous opportunity to be able to spend your life being surrounded by nature.
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 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.
Eddie Vedder
I think celebrities suck.
Eddie Vedder
That makes it even more offensive to me that she's interested in our band and she did something for Slaughter.
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
Society, you're a crazy breed.
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
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.
Eddie Vedder
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down.
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
The love received is the love that is saved.
Eddie Vedder
I don't trust nobody, especially when they say something good.
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.
