More quotes by Adam Duritz
That's where the songs come from: that's what I'd most want people to understand. What sounds good or looks good, that's nothing. The only worthwhile thing in art is seeing someone else's heart.
Adam Duritz
But what you realise after you've been in the business for a while is that people develop opinions about you that don't have anything to do with your music, they like or dislike you for a million reasons, they like or dislike you for your last record.
Adam Duritz
I'm not a spiritual person at all, but I do think that the world doesn't have to be as lonely as it is.
Adam Duritz
There's people who think what they need and what they deserve in their lives is a lot worse than what they actually do, so they get themselves involved in things that are needlessly painful: brutal relationships, abusive relationships.
Adam Duritz
Got no place to go, but there's a girl waitin' for me down in Mexico. She got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin, and if I bring a little music, I could fit right in.
Adam Duritz
If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.
Adam Duritz
I have a lot of problems understanding connections between people and how to negotiate that. It makes everything hard offstage.
Adam Duritz
For all the things I'm losing I might aswell resign myself to try and make a change.
Adam Duritz
Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.
Adam Duritz
People ask me if I have stage fright. I say, God, no, I'm completely comfortable there. I have rest-of-the-day fright.
Adam Duritz
Over and over again in my life, I find closeness to other people and proximity to other people really painful that's part of my mental illness, social anxiety. Closeness to other people is really hard, but it's also a shame because it's all you want too. But it doesn't always work.
Adam Duritz
You live through stuff, and it affects the way you feel about the world, and you write about it.
Adam Duritz
You don't understand what makes you understand what makes your life better until you take something that makes it so much worse and you embrace that.
Adam Duritz
A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.
Adam Duritz
I can remember being eight years old and having infinite possibilities. But life ends up being so much less that we thought it would be when we were kids, with relationships that are so empty and stupid and brutal. If you don't find a way to break the chain and change in some way, then you wind up, as the rhyme goes: a murder of one, for sorrow.
Adam Duritz
I think I'd been limiting myself in some ways just writing in first person all the time.
Adam Duritz
Sometimes the world seems like a big hole. You spend all your life shouting down it and all you hear are echoes of some idiot yelling nonsense down a hole.
Adam Duritz
It's impossible having five, six, seven people in a room being creative together and not fight, because you want to fight. It's the only way creativity works, if you all put your ideas in.
Adam Duritz
My life isn't necessarily more important than anyone else's: I'm just better in talking about it.
Adam Duritz
I feel like I've been in love, but I have stood aside from it over and over again in my life. It's all you want, but it's terrifying.
