Famous quotes by Jeff Ament:
"I think I've become numb to that over the last 15 years,"
"I think at that point we were aspiring to be a Led Zeppelin kind of a band where you could pick up your acoustic instruments or you could go out and rock or you could play a country song. I love all those bands we got mentioned with, but it never felt like we fit into that group very well. So the fact that they're still saying, 'The band that survived grunge' is kind of funny."
"We saw something starting to happen with the industry and we called them out on it,"
"It's in the middle of the whole tour, so we'll get to go out and change it up a little bit. We love Tom and his band. It will be a cool, special show for people."
"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."
"Make movies. Don't make videos. Videos are evil."
"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."
"Every few years I'll party way too much to remind myself what an idiot I am."
"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."
"I'm not going to say no to playing a show in Missoula."
"That's probably half the reason I wanted to be in a band - I wanted to see the world."
"We just finished making a record. Everybody wants to play shows, so we're going to after that."
"I played djembe, percussion, keyboards and I sang."
"We went to Big Sur about three years ago and hung out at the Esalen Institute."
"I have to go someplace where I can soak myself in a creative atmosphere."
"I didn't write this song. Someone was talking in a room. I just wrote down everything they said."
