More quotes by 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
I find that truly heartbreaking that, like, it's such a common, constant thing in people's lives - a brutal abuse of people by other people, and it's just accepted.
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
Losing fights, or even winning fights, can be heartbreaking, and you can throw that away, but the truth is that it does make our lives better.
Adam Duritz
You have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you're in a group of people that you work with. It's not so much, do they make you feel good when you're around them all the time it's how can you make everyone feel comfortable together.
Adam Duritz
I'm really good in pain. I snapped my leg in half on stage and played a whole show. But I can't sit there with someone that loves me.
Adam Duritz
You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.
Adam Duritz
I can't remember all the times I've tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass
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
If you want to really love someone, you've got to let go and loosen up and just care.
Adam Duritz
If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain...
Adam Duritz
Closeness to another person is like a fear of falling off a building to me. It's really, like, physically painful, and it's a brand of crazy I don't appreciate having.
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
Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.
Adam Duritz
For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.
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
Truth is, you make albums, and some of those songs are hits, and some of the greatest hits albums have songs that weren't hits. You have a career, the reason why we're still around 10 years is that we do have successful songs.
Adam Duritz
I think the biggest, saddest thing that happens in our lives is that we just don't embrace the things that could make it better because they don't seem to make it better at any given moment or we can't decide how to get across the aisle to that person.
Adam Duritz
All my songs are where I am.

You aren't really writing about what you did you're writing about how you feel.
