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.

More quotes by Justin Vernon
There are decent people that I know who don't know how to treat their partner. It's been built up so hard and so high that people are afraid.
Justin Vernon
I'm super happy to see the record doing its thing and for people to like it, but for me, I had a great victory just as a person. I overstepped countless obstacles by creating that record. And the record's a metaphor for the personal steps I [took] throughout the past year.
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 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
Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I'm sick of being like everyone else, because I'm not.
Justin Vernon
You never have to change your scene because you're always comfortable with evolving.
Justin Vernon
It's dangerous when music gets cornered by anything.
Justin Vernon
I began realizing that it wasn't important for me to concern myself with the perception of truth.
Justin Vernon
I'm trying to think about stuff like that: How can a show not be just a whining guy with a guitar.
Justin Vernon
There's that whole thing that happens in relationships - you can love someone but, as soon as they stop loving you so unconditionally that they stop being themselves, it can be so dangerous.
Justin Vernon
More and more into natural feelings rather than convoluted feelings or tastemaking or what have you. You always need critique, rock critics, but you can't take away people's taste. People are starting to, very slowly, do their own thing.
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
As a fan of Kanye West, working with him is insane.
Justin Vernon
I think I've always been aware of it with my music. I think growing up basically and having a lot to deal with and just slowing down and having something to say and something to retract from, I think I just knew that what I was doing was extremely honest.
Justin Vernon
The amount of people that I feel like... I'm not being self-demeaning, but I actually feel like I'm not as cool as them, you know what I mean?
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
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
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 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
You’re in a relationship because you need help, but that's not necessarily why you should be in a relationship. And that's skinny. It doesn't have weight. Skinny love doesn't have a chance because it's not nourished.
