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.

More quotes by Justin Vernon
Our lives feel like these epochs, but really we are dust in the wind.
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
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.
Justin Vernon
It's dangerous when music gets cornered by anything.
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
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 catching up. I'm satisfied with the show. I think I want to get better and better and keep building. It took a while to figure out how to do it. I didn't know how it was gonna go. I was just like, I better book a show and just see what happens.
Justin Vernon
What a unique opportunity to be in town. I love townies. I value it, so to speak.
Justin Vernon
A lot of people change their band names because they're looking for a change of atmosphere.
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 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
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
Irony is based on insecurity people like to not like things because they don't understand them.
Justin Vernon
I am generalizing, of course, but in hip-hop, it's like you get this shine for using the word pussy a billion times, and I think that that's weirdly healthier than not doing it at all - even though I really hope it ends soon because, you know, how many decades can we do that?
Justin Vernon
Apple is not thinking different anymore, they are getting worse by the day. They've become bottom-dollar and you can see that transition easily.
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
As a fan of Kanye West, working with him is insane.
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
Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I'm sick of being like everyone else, because I'm not.
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
