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.

More quotes by Adam Duritz
If you want to really love someone, you've got to let go and loosen up and just care.
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
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 can't remember all the times I've tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass
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
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.
Adam Duritz
We waste a lot of our lives sometimes. There are people sitting across from us who would make the whole world better if we spent more time with them in it, but we can't get across that gully.
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
Being in a band is about making the band the priority.
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
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
There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.
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
Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.
Adam Duritz
You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.
Adam Duritz
I've been playing music most of my life.
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
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
A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.
