Surely there comes a time when counting the cost and paying the price aren't things to think about any more. All that matters is value - the ultimate value of what one does.

With me and Bill... I think we started out with $15 apiece and split the other $20 between the band.

I still don't believe that all pieces of music are the same price. I just don't think that's America.

If I cut an album now and sell it for ten bucks, I can put seven dollars and fifty cents in my pocket.

We pay a price when special interests win out over the collective national interest.

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

Because of the Korean free trade agreement, South Koreans who want Oregon blueberries are gonna see their prices go down because we will be getting rid of a 45 percent tariff on this Oregon product.

We get paid for bringing value to the market place.

By packaging a full album into a bundle of music with ringtones, videos and other combinations and variations, we found products that consumers demonstrably valued and were willing to purchase at premium prices. And guess what? We've sold tons of them.

Something is worth what somebody will pay for it. Nothing else, nothing more, nothing less.
