Adam Duritz
People really need to show up early to hear Hollis Brown. They are just an unbelievable live band.
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
You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.

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'm really good in a crisis, because I don't panic.
Adam Duritz
I've been playing music most of my life.
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
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
Time and time again I can't please myself.
Adam Duritz
I have a lot of problems understanding connections between people and how to negotiate that. It makes everything hard offstage.
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
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
People ask me if I have stage fright. I say, God, no, I'm completely comfortable there. I have rest-of-the-day fright.
