A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.

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.

You live through stuff, and it affects the way you feel about the world, and you write about it.

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.

If you want to really love someone, you've got to let go and loosen up and just care.

I can't remember all the times I've tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass
Adam Duritz
Image
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.

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.

If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.

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
It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.
Adam Duritz
Image
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.

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.

You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.
