You know, I always thought I’d go first Picture Quote #1

People on death row, the treatment of animals, women’s right to choose. So much in America is based on religious fundamentalist Christianity. Grow up! This is the modern world! Picture Quote #1

You know, punk bands now sell with one record - their first or second record - sell 10 times the amount of records than the Ramones did throughout their career with 20-something records. That’s why I go over to Johnny Ramone’s house and do yard work three times a week, just to absolve some of the guilt Picture Quote #1

Music was your real passion, this thing you held dear even above family. It was this relationship that never betrayed you. Once it became your job - this thing that was highly visible, this thing that became about commerce - that’s when you were holding onto music like it was a palm tree in a hurricane Picture Quote #1

I feel like we have to keep our eyes on the road. Being nostalgic is like taking an offramp and getting a sandwich - and then you get back on the highway. I don’t want to be spending the rest of my life at the gas station Picture Quote #1

Any conversations we hear about ‘So who are Pearl Jam marketing to?’ are despicable Picture Quote #1

When it comes to grunge or even just Seattle, I think there was one band that made the definitive music of the time. It wasn’t us or Nirvana, but Mudhoney. Nirvana delivered it to the world, but Mudhoney were the band of that time and sound Picture Quote #1

As far as viewpoints, I think I’m more well-rounded and definitely more educated, and probably more hopeful than I used to be. I think when you’re young and you get into a cause, you get frustrated with it within a few years, or six months Picture Quote #1

The interesting thing is that it seems like George W. Bush would have been happy being the president of anything. He could have been president of Major League Baseball Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of bands that get to a certain level, and it just stops. They scrap it. Compare this to, say, The Rolling Stones or The Who, where they just continued on forever and are still playing, or they quit after 20 years Picture Quote #1

You can go down the list of great artists and kind of understand that they are products of their environment. Whether it’s U2 or Henry Rollins or myself or Johnny Lydon, they’re gonna be products of their environment Picture Quote #1

You know, rock stardom... I have a hard time discussing that because I don’t really accept it. It’s not really that tangible. What’s really bizarre is how it’s used as a thing - you know, ‘He’s the rock star of politics,’ ‘He’s the rock star of quarterbacks’ - like it’s the greatest thing in the world Picture Quote #1

On bended knee is no way to be free lifting up an empty cup I ask silently that all my destinations will accept the one that’s me so I can breath Circles they grow and they swallow people whole half their lives they say goodnight to wive’s they’ll never know got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul so it goes Picture Quote #1

Isn’t Timbaland a make of shoe? It’s a producer? I don’t know who that is. Oh well Picture Quote #1

I think music is the greatest art form that exists, and I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music, and some of it is things that might affect a person’s day, if not their life, or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something Picture Quote #1

There’s been times when I’ve been standing in a line at a movie and someone’s hit me with something really heavy about someone really close and how our music has helped them get through it. Even in our darkest moments we try and find something beautiful Picture Quote #1

I used to kind of blame someone for not being able to get through that - I’m talking about the addiction part - but I’ve had a few experiences recently where you don’t blame the person anymore Picture Quote #1

At a certain point, you realize you have a responsibility more behind yourself and your need for adrenaline. I’m glad I did things in my 20s that were more reckless Picture Quote #1

I probably get strangers coming up to me two or three times a week to just say something nice Picture Quote #1

I’m an example of someone who never made it to university. I did have this dream to be a musician. I felt that this dream had an expiration date Picture Quote #1
