Quote

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.

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

I think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can't see how to do it.

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.

Got no place to go, but there's a girl waitin' for me down in Mexico. She got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin, and if I bring a little music, I could fit right in.

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

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.

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

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.

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

I've been playing music most of my life.

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.
