Text Quotes
I don’t have a great voice or even a good voice  (Jeff Ament Quotes) I get lost in my right brain, especially in creative things  (Jeff Ament Quotes) Everybody got away from what Pearl Jam are supposed to be  (Jeff Ament Quotes) I’m not going to say no to playing a show in Missoula  (Jeff Ament Quotes) That’s probably half the reason I wanted to be in a band - I wanted to see the world  (Jeff Ament Quotes) With Pearl Jam, everybody is so good at what they do, it’s hard to get up the courage to say, Can I sing this part, or, I want to play guitar. I feel like I have more courage to do that.  (Jeff Ament Quotes) I had a portable 8-track player under all my ramps, cranking one of my four 8-tracks - Cars/’Candy-O,’ Ramones/’Road To Ruin,’ Cheap Trick/’Heaven Tonight’ and the first Devo record. I don’t remember skating without music.  (Jeff Ament Quotes) I’ve been interested in Eastern religions since I went to college because I was trying to figure out where I stood with Catholicism.  (Jeff Ament Quotes) Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love talked trash about the fact that I hooped. I once stopped to say ‘Hi’ before a show, and as I walked away, Courtney yelled, ‘Go play basketball with Dave Grohl!’  (Jeff Ament Quotes) It’s great that people are basically spending their two weeks of vacation to come out and be with us in some weird part of the world. And I think we owe it to them to take ‘em to some cool places.  (Jeff Ament Quotes) Right after ‘Backspacer,’ my best friend got killed tragically. Something happened to me then where I got super motivated. I had a shelf of all this unfinished music... So I just went to work and made a conscious decision that I was going to finish a bunch of stuff. Life’s short.  (Jeff Ament Quotes) I led the state in defensive interceptions my senior year, with seven in nine games. Then I went to Montana to play basketball and found out quickly that my college career wasn’t going to work out how I’d envisioned it.  (Jeff Ament Quotes) I’ve seen kids turn their lives around. It’s usually a kid who’s outside of the team-sport world, or maybe has a darker personality or doesn’t fit in. Skateboarding ends up being something they latch onto. It sounds hokey, but finding a focus on something - whether it’s skateboard or playing your guitar - can be life changing.  (Jeff Ament Quotes) Punk rock and skateboarding took the ‘school’ out of living your life, and I related to learning as I went, doing a lot of different things that I liked, when I liked. Consequently, I’m mediocre at all of the above, but still stoked on being a lifetime student of music, skating, painting, writing, etc.  (Jeff Ament Quotes) Where I grew up, I could be a punk rocker and a jock. But in college, it became apparent that those two worlds didn’t mix. When I brought my guitar back to school after Thanksgiving break, a friend handed me his bass and said, ‘Listen to the Ramones.’  (Jeff Ament Quotes) When I moved to Seattle, I was hanging out with kids who had done drugs, had sex a million times. I look at them now and realize their childhood was taken away  (Jeff Ament Quotes) We went to Big Sur about three years ago and hung out at the Esalen Institute  (Jeff Ament Quotes) Every few years I’ll party way too much to remind myself what an idiot I am  (Jeff Ament Quotes) With Pearl Jam, everybody is so good at what they do, it’s hard to get up the courage to say, Can I sing this part, or, I want to play guitar. I feel like I have more courage to do that  (Jeff Ament Quotes) It’s great that people are basically spending their two weeks of vacation to come out and be with us in some weird part of the world. And I think we owe it to them to take ‘em to some cool places  (Jeff Ament Quotes) I love sad. Sadness makes you feel more than anything  (Jeff Ament Quotes) I have to go someplace where I can soak myself in a creative atmosphere  (Jeff Ament Quotes) We’ve always been a band that stood up for what we thought was right  (Jeff Ament Quotes) Ever since I picked up a bass, I’ve written songs  (Jeff Ament Quotes) Make movies. Don’t make videos. Videos are evil  (Jeff Ament Quotes) We just finished making a record. Everybody wants to play shows, so we’re going to after that  (Jeff Ament Quotes) Our first record didn’t come out on vinyl, so I think that might have had something to do with actually being in a position to make sure that it came out in vinyl this time. It sounds way better  (Jeff Ament Quotes) It’s hard for us not to be involved with things. When you have so much information and you see so much need, there’s too much going on for us not to get involved  (Jeff Ament Quotes) I didn’t write this song. Someone was talking in a room. I just wrote down everything they said  (Jeff Ament Quotes) It was hard to figure out what were the good causes, the bad causes, even the good politics and the bad politics. So we started taking requests and figuring it out  (Jeff Ament Quotes)
