More quotes by Adam Duritz
Bravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.
Adam Duritz
Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where noone notices the contrast of white on white.
Adam Duritz
All my songs are where I am.
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 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'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.
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
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.
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
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
Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.
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
I've been playing music most of my life.
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
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.
Adam Duritz
You aren't really writing about what you did you're writing about how you feel.
Adam Duritz
People really need to show up early to hear Hollis Brown. They are just an unbelievable live band.
Adam Duritz
For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.
Adam Duritz
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.
