It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.
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
There is nothing more important you can ever do for this world than to wake up and be a part of it.
Adam Duritz
Image
You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.
Adam Duritz
Image
I'm really good in a crisis, because I don't panic.
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.

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.

Image
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.

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.

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.

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
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
Bravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.
Adam Duritz
Image
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.

When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you.

I've been playing music most of my life.

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

If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain...

I have a lot of problems understanding connections between people and how to negotiate that. It makes everything hard offstage.
