More quotes by Adam Duritz
If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.
Adam Duritz
My life isn't necessarily more important than anyone else's: I'm just better in talking about it.
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.

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

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
I can't remember all the times I've tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass
Adam Duritz
I think I'd been limiting myself in some ways just writing in first person all the time.
Adam Duritz
I think the biggest, saddest thing that happens in our lives is that we just don't embrace the things that could make it better because they don't seem to make it better at any given moment or we can't decide how to get across the aisle to that person.
Adam Duritz
You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.
Adam Duritz
Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.
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
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
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.
