The whole point of being happy is not feeling like you have a job. I'm sure there are days where you're at your job and you're like, Oh my god, this is hard.

More quotes by Justin Vernon
We got in after a ten hour drive after sleeping for four hours. I'm not complaining here. I'm really not complaining. Ten hour drive to get here, we unload, we sound check, we get here we take photos, we do this. I haven't eaten anything today. It's like... And I'm not even hungry.

The easiest thing to feel is sadness.
Justin Vernon
Hopefully, most days, you're like, This is sweet. I wake up and do the things that I do and I'm usually smiling. That's how my dad is with his job.
Justin Vernon
My favorite idea is doing an all-night tent show starring my friend's band Marijuana Deathsquads, where everyone would wear super-loud headphones, and there would be tons of subs and lights. It'd be really dope.
Justin Vernon
I told myself I never wanted to rent again. Even though it's a battle, I'm lucky cause I'm living in a cheaper part of the country. I just told myself I'm never going to do this again. I'm never gonna work, I'm never going to pay somebody rent again. I'm never going to sign another lease at least.
Justin Vernon
I just understand... I mean this may sound kind of bigheaded, bullheaded, or cumbersome, but when people say they've had a really deep experience with the record, like it caused a divorce or it like...I've gotten all these stories.
Justin Vernon
I can't see myself - I'm not really looking so far ahead in the future. I know that I kind of need to live in the country even though I'm not - my house isn't in the country right now. I bought a house, like a really tiny, cheap house in Wisconsin.
Justin Vernon
It's dangerous when music gets cornered by anything.
Justin Vernon
I think that's all I want in life, just like peace and be able to make music and like have happiness when it's time off. Spend time with people and family, whatever.
Justin Vernon
I don't want the big flashing lights and red carpet, like, Here comes another Bon Iver album! I just want it to be my bedroom-y thing. But that'll take a while to figure out.
Justin Vernon
You never have to change your scene because you're always comfortable with evolving.
Justin Vernon
You should be able to have happiness. If you don't have that, then you're not really bringing your whole self to the relationship.
Justin Vernon
The songs started as a soundscapes, and then came the words and music each song took at least a year to make.
Justin Vernon
What a unique opportunity to be in town. I love townies. I value it, so to speak.
Justin Vernon
I feel like this thing [that] we're rocking back and forth like we're stuck in a snow bank and we all sort of know it. I feel like people are getting less and less pretentious and less and less hip - hopefully.
Justin Vernon
No matter how much you care about a person, you have to be able to know that you can sit down at night and be happy with who you are without that person. That's really hard when you're a lonely emo kid.
Justin Vernon
I began realizing that it wasn't important for me to concern myself with the perception of truth.
Justin Vernon
Indie rock is just as susceptible - if not more susceptible - to all the gross things about people becoming total ass clowns in music, and only worrying about money and image. I'm not interested in being a part of that.
Justin Vernon
You never have to be scared to look to the future for opportunity.
Justin Vernon
It makes sense that that's part of the story and everything, but that's part of any story of any record - where was it record and how long and what were the people doing. I think people want to know where these events are made. That's why I like the word record.
