More quotes by 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
When you're young and you play music, you have a peer group, you come out of a scene. There's a lot of people you know, and then you have some success, and it all goes away.
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.

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
I'm really good in a crisis, because I don't panic.
Adam Duritz

Adam Duritz

Adam Duritz
All my songs are where I am.
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
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
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 think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can't see how to do it.
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
Bravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.
Adam Duritz
I'm so busy trying to breathe through the pain that I'm breathing through the pain of being with people, and that is no way to spend a life. Eventually, they'll just go away, because you will make them sad. That's something I've proven quite adept at doing over the years.
Adam Duritz
Time and time again I can't please myself.
