More quotes by 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
I could be worried about it if I had the wrong attitude. I don't think that I want my life and my daily occurrences to influence the direction. I don't want my daily life or my happiness to be a direct influence on music or my sadness.
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
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.

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
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
A lot of people change their band names because they're looking for a change of atmosphere.
Justin Vernon
I began realizing that it wasn't important for me to concern myself with the perception of truth.
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.
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.
Justin Vernon
It was all the things I wanted my music to be, but yet it wasn't grand and it wasn't obtuse - it wasn't overshooting, it wasn't undershooting, it was precise. The lyrics and the way that I was able to extract and excavate emotion within me.
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
I do think that our culture or our psyche as a country I guess, the world or whatever, we're due for a huge event. We're due for a little bit of a revolution or a spotlight or a movement. Something that feels large, something that feels like the 60s. Some sort of unification.
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
The songs started as a soundscapes, and then came the words and music each song took at least a year to make.
Justin Vernon
Our lives feel like these epochs, but really we are dust in the wind.
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
Oftentimes I’ll just overflow, and then I’ll need to spend a week alone and not talk to anybody or call anybody.
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.
