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.

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.

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
Image
For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.
Adam Duritz
Image
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
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
Time and time again I can't please myself.
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.
Adam Duritz
Image
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.

Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.

It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.
