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.

When you're young and you play music, you have a peer group, you come out of a scene. There's a lot of people you know, and then you have some success, and it all goes away.
Adam Duritz
You live through stuff, and it affects the way you feel about the world, and you write about it.
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.
Adam Duritz
Bravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.
