For all the things I'm losing I might aswell resign myself to try and make a change.
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
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
Bravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.
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
Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.
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
If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain...
Adam Duritz
The nice thing about being on stage is it's not that I know what to do, but I have a very clear feeling that anything I do is OK. All I'm up there to do is express how I feel. Any way I choose to do that is fine.
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
People really need to show up early to hear Hollis Brown. They are just an unbelievable live band.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.
