I like rhythmic things that butt up against each other in a cool kind of way.

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.

We’re super fortunate in Pearl Jam to have such loyal fans...who really want to come & see us play.

We may take breaks and do other things, but we feel we'll ultimately have Pearl Jam as a family.

Words can have the same kind of magic as riffs can.

My methodology is not knowing what I'm doing and making that work for me.

I really enjoy not getting in a car and running errands on bikes.

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.

It's a perfectly human instinct to want to be near water.

I liked the banana-seat bikes with the high handlebars - maybe a card in the wheel could have been part of it.

Well, you go to Holland and everybody's on a bike - nobody would think to have a car.

The conflict hasn't gotten worst but the contest has really changed.............

I'm going to move on, while carrying these feelings with me.

[The sound of the wind] was just more proof that the workings of the world were random, that beauty, like suffering, was meaningless, that human life was as pointless as waves on sand.

Reality only reveals itself when it is illuminated by a ray of poetry.

You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom.

My books have helped a lot of men to lose weight.

Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute; cynics do not create.

There are two classes of human beings in this world: one class seem made to give love, and the other to take it.

I think I'm the best, of course. How could I not?

I know that I'll be writing for young adults for a long time. Mostly because I just love the readers and the teachers and librarians that I interact with.
