More quotes by Adam Duritz

Adam Duritz
There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.
Adam Duritz
For all the things I'm losing I might aswell resign myself to try and make a change.
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.
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.

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
There is nothing more important you can ever do for this world than to wake up and be a part of it.
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
It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.
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 have a lot of problems understanding connections between people and how to negotiate that. It makes everything hard offstage.
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
I'm really good in a crisis, because I don't panic.
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
Being in a band is about making the band the priority.
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
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
All my songs are where I am.
