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

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.

Image
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.

You aren't really writing about what you did you're writing about how you feel.

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.

People ask me if I have stage fright. I say, God, no, I'm completely comfortable there. I have rest-of-the-day fright.

Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.

I think I'd been limiting myself in some ways just writing in first person all the time.
Adam Duritz
Image
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.

There is nothing more important you can ever do for this world than to wake up and be a part of it.

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.
