Stone Gossard Quotes

Call it holistic or holographic thinking, it’s been quite effective imagining the world’s problems are all right in front of you on a smaller scale with your band. You deal with those relationships, and that’s where real major change begins Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s a very complex scenario, and certainly Dave was, and is, not the only person in Pearl Jam with personality flaws. Everybody in this band exhibits some form of neurotic behavior. And we couldn’t find a balance, a mutual respect for each other Picture Quote #1

Eddie is a natural leader. Jeff and I have been very much in control of previous bands we’ve worked in. But the way Eddie grew into being the leader of this band was the most gradual, slow and respectful process that I’ve ever been involved in Picture Quote #1

If it had remained always my band, my natural tendency would have been to get more complex and arrange things more and more. That wouldn’t necessarily be good for Eddie, or anyone else in the band Picture Quote #1

It’s really comforting for me and Jeff, at least, that after 12 years we finally feel we’ve reached a place where we can be more honest, real and loving with each other. And we’re finally in a band that we know is good, and deserves the credit it’s getting Picture Quote #1

That’s not to say Eddie’s never done anything malicious. But he never grabbed power for power’s sake. His position was gained only because he has that energy, and that’s naturally where he ended up Picture Quote #1

I’m in a rock band - I don’t have a day job! I am spoiled... a lot Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Politics is tricky; it cuts both ways. Every time you make a choice, it has unintended consequences Picture Quote #1

A significant event for me was learning Hank Williams, reconnecting with his music’s simplicity, which inspired me to inhabit the same territory. It’s different, because I grew up on Led Zeppelin, The Stooges and punk, so in that sense I’m mutating country and folk more than a few degrees Picture Quote #1

I think it’s evident that expensive neighborhoods in Seattle are surrounded by natural beauty. That elevates city life. So if we can make cities more attractive in the long run, we can be smarter about issues like development, zoning and economics Picture Quote #1

Raising awareness, changing the marketplace, effecting spiritual change - whatever it is that you decide is your thing, go for it Picture Quote #1

And I remember as a second or third grader having some autonomy to go to the store if I felt like it, walk home, take my time, kick the can. We were on our own schedule after school, so that was cool Picture Quote #1

For the most part, I really love being in a collaborative thing. And in a collaborative thing if you have a singer as good as Sean Smith or Eddie Vedder, you kind of think, well, why don’t you just go ahead and let them sing? People seem to really like it Picture Quote #1

I love making music. I love being involved in arranging music. It’s very natural to know what I want to hear next and come up with ideas that are variations of what might be good Picture Quote #1

I walked to Seward School first through fourth grade. It’s just amazing to me now that we’d walk down 10th Avenue on Capitol Hill Picture Quote #1

I think ultimately, bringing more nature back into the city is a way to deal with urban sprawl and things like that. If the cities feel a little more natural, people like to live there more rather than moving out and dividing up another piece of land that shouldn’t be touched Picture Quote #1

If you have a lot of nature in your city, it becomes a more enjoyable place. That’s my own feeling about it Picture Quote #1

It would be great to take one city street and turn it into a pedestrian corridor and see what kind of effect it has on the businesses in that area - It’s the future I think Picture Quote #1

You can’t help but have your children and your family be part of what you dream about when you dream up a song Picture Quote #1

A lot of fun stuff happens when you go out on a bike compared to when you’re in a car. You’re more in the environment. It’s enjoyable. Even when It’s raining It’s still fun Picture Quote #1

Right, those relationships with your parents and family are the hardest to figure out, and the same patterns get carried into a band situation Picture Quote #1

And I look forward to the time when I can become more indulgent with my songwriting. But this band is a family, and it’s a process that we have to grow with together Picture Quote #1

I think that’s one of the biggest problems in rock is people thinking too much, putting too much emphasis on getting things perfect or completely sorted out. Sometimes that sound of not having everything sorted out is kind of cool Picture Quote #1

Well, you go to Holland and everybody’s on a bike - nobody would think to have a car Picture Quote #1

I walked to Seward School first through fourth grade. It’s just amazing to me now that we’d walk down 10th Avenue on Capitol Hill Picture Quote #1

I really enjoy not getting in a car and running errands on bikes Picture Quote #1

Dave played an important part in our growing, but change occurs Picture Quote #1
