From “I'm Not Your Fuckin' Messiah”

I tell you, man, when our first record came out, I was shocked how many people related to some of that stuff. Something like 'Alive,' so many people dealt with death through that song. Like people dealt with the death of love through 'Black' and so many people dealt with suicide through 'Jeremy.'…

I always thought I'd go first. I don't know why I thought that. It just seemed like I would. I mean, I didn't know him on a daily basis—far from it. But, in a way, I don't even feel right being here without him. It's so difficult to really believe he's gone. I still talk about him like he's still…

When you're out in the desert, you can't believe the amount of stars. We've sent mechanisms out there, and they haven't found anything. They've found different colors of sand, and rings, and gases, but nobody's shown me anything that makes me feel secure in what happens afterwards. All I really…

These pop songs almost feel like tabloid journalism, in a way. It's crap that people seem to like. And I don't know if it has meaning. I don't know if one of the pop songs of the summer has any fiber in it. People are consuming it, and is it healthy? I don't know. Maybe it's some kind of way of…

I'm angry that George Bush got to be in the White House, and I'm angry that Gore wasn't able to be a better candidate after eight years of a great economy and being an incumbent.

I think it's just a healthy way to be, that you're not a liability to the planet and that you're doing something positive. It seems like a necessary balance to life, being part of the community.

From “We Spent 55 Minutes Talking With Eddie Vedder -- Here's What He Said”

I think it could be dangerous to focus on the future, because you know it’s just going to change. Again, you don’t know what the universe is going to hit you with. I find it difficult.

There’s a finite amount of time on this planet for each of us. Sometimes the only way we figure out how to deal with that reality—knowing that there will be an end to every story, and you don’t know how many chapters are left in your book—is by living in denial.

There are certain songs that are empowering, especially for women. Maybe it’s the fact that I have little girls, but songs that are empowering—for really anybody—give you the ice cream, but they become something of value.

I’m not talking about myself here, but I think we should all realize sensitive people—and I’m not talking about myself—in this day and age, on this planet, with the multitude of media input and psychological bombardment, have to be really careful. They’re going to have to find some way to create…

The way we’re attached to our phones these days, they buzz and twitch in our pockets and we have to look and see if it was a text, a voicemail or an email. We’re almost like lab rats.

I think what happens is when something becomes successful, then a lot of people take credit for it in such ways that it takes credit away from you.

From “COVER STORY”

People think you are this grand person who has all their shit together because you are able to put your feelings into some songs. They write letters and come to the shows and even to the house, hoping we can fix everything for them. But we can’t…because we don't have all our shit together either.…

There was a lot of stuff that got said, but none of it really matters. And I like to think he may have had second thoughts about some of the things he said, you know... I mean there's a person we both knew, who told me that Kurt asked about me a lot, like picked their brains about me, this person…
