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
Image
You live through stuff, and it affects the way you feel about the world, and you write about it.
Adam Duritz
Image
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
Image
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
Image
A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.
Adam Duritz
Image
If you want to really love someone, you've got to let go and loosen up and just care.
Adam Duritz
Image
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.

People really need to show up early to hear Hollis Brown. They are just an unbelievable live band.
Adam Duritz
Image
If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.

Image
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely.

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

Being in a band is about making the band the priority.
Adam Duritz

For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.
Adam Duritz
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I have a lot of problems understanding connections between people and how to negotiate that. It makes everything hard offstage.
Adam Duritz
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.
Adam Duritz
Image
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.
