inspirational know-me knows
I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me.
song long empowering
If at noon you sit down and there's just silence or blank tape, in an hour if you have a song, that didn't exist an hour ago. Now it exists and it might exist for a long time. There's something empowering about that.
thinking greed needs
It's a mystery to me; We have a greed, with which we have agreed. You think you have to want more than you need. Until you have it all, you won't be free.
song mean trying
I don't work so hard at trying to get every song to be three-dimensional and mean so much. I just want to breathe, right now, with the music.
song eye self
Before music videos first came out, you’d listen to a song with headphones on, sitting in a beanbag chair with your eyes closed, and you’d come up with your own visions, these things that came from within. Then all of a sudden, sometimes even the very first time you heard a song, it was with these visual images attached, and it robbed you of any form of self-expression.
inspirational life revenge
The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself.
believe breathing flesh
Sure as I am breathing, sure as I'm sad I'll keep this wisdom in my flesh I leave here believing more than I had This love has got no ceiling
writing guitar ukulele
Things like guitars and ukuleles, you should never part with it, because there will probably be good, healthy times spent, just playing and writing.
song writing trying
I am not a good enough writer to have an agenda or come up with a message and try to put it into a song. It's more like you write what comes to you... You try to reflect the mood of the songs.
car long guy
I had a long talk with Bruce Springsteen on a rooftop during the Vote for Change tour (in 2004). And it boiled down to this: That guy you used to be, he’s still in the car. He’ll always be in the car. Just don’t let him drive. He might be shouting out directions. But whatever you do, don’t let him get behind the wheel.
marketing pearls jam
Any conversations we hear about 'So who are Pearl Jam marketing to?' are despicable.
optimistic hopeful frustrated
I'm optimistic yet disillusioned, hopeful yet frustrated.
cocky healthy competition
Competition is healthy, if you can turn it off and on. When someone gets too cocky in victory, that can ruin the positive aspect.
believe mean thank-god
I would thank God, but I don't believe in it... It's like a movie that was way too popular. It's a story that's been told too many times and just doesn't mean anything... All I really believe in is this moment, like right now.
