It's a perfectly human instinct to want to be near water.
It may take me a long time before I feel 'ready' to tour as a lead singer. I may never be ready... we'll just have to see.
I've always related music to those moments when someone turns you loose on something and they haven't told you how to do it.
I just know that I love to write songs, and I have for a long time.
I think if you exercise, your state of mind - my state of mind - is usually more at ease, ready for more mental challenges. Once I get the physical stuff out of the way it always seems like I have more calmness and better self-esteem.
My methodology is not knowing what I'm doing and making that work for me.
Words can have the same kind of magic as riffs can.
We may take breaks and do other things, but we feel we'll ultimately have Pearl Jam as a family.
We’re super fortunate in Pearl Jam to have such loyal fans...who really want to come & see us play.
I'm probably at my least religious I've ever been in a while. When you're moved by music, that's always good. But I haven't been talking to God too much lately.
