Its an art to live with pain… mix the light into gray. – Eddie Vedder
Pretty much at all times music motivates me. How can I say this without sounding in any way proud of myself? Obviously Ive always written songs that are critical of our government, and talk about our times. Hopefully you attempt to be timeless while doing it. – Eddie Vedder
You know, rock stardom… I have a hard time discussing that because I dont really accept it. Its not really that tangible. Whats really bizarre is how its used as a thing – you know, Hes the rock star of politics, Hes the rock star of quarterbacks – like its the greatest thing in the world. – Eddie Vedder
I think the hardest thing about making music now is being a great dad at the same time. Theres an insanity that goes with writing – a mad scientist thing that you have to go through – and sacrificing a kids upbringing to do that is not an option. – Eddie Vedder
