Singing someone else's songs is like keeping your clothes on.

Music saved me; I mean, my upbringing was like a hurricane, and music was the tree I held onto.

I'm Eddie Vedder and I sing. I do.

That's part of the curse: If you're gonna play the song, you better play it. I've tried to phone in 'Jeremy' a few times, and it's tough. It doesn't work.

It's not a bad time to be me.

I probably get strangers coming up to me two or three times a week to just say something nice.

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.
