I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down.
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.
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
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
I believe in the power of music. To me, it isn't just a fad. This is a positive thing.
Eddie Vedder
I've never been a calm, midrange type person.
Eddie Vedder
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.
Eddie Vedder
I would thank God, but I don't believe in it.
Eddie Vedder
The smallest oceans still make big big waves.
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
Society, you're a crazy breed.
Eddie Vedder
The one thing about going from the audience to the stage in just three years is that you know how it feels to be down there.
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 don't work so hard at trying to get every song to be three-dimensional and mean so much. I just want to breathe, right now, with the music.
Eddie Vedder
I would do anything to be around music. You don't even have to pay me.
Eddie Vedder
I don't need drugs to make my life tragic.
Eddie Vedder
You kill yourself and you make a big old sacrifice and try to get your revenge. That all you're gonna end up with is a paragraph in a newspaper. In the end, it does nothing. Nothing changes. The world goes on and you're gone. The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself.
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 was living on the wrong side of the tracks in Evanston, Illinois, in a home for boys. We had these Jackson 5 records. I really related to their voices - they were about my age, but they were doing it.
Eddie Vedder
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied.
