People have the right to ask questions and dig deep when you're hurting people and things around you, but when I haven't talked to anyone in years, and every single article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this- that ain't my title...my bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and talents are my title.

I don't take part in it the way I used to-the bimbos, the free beers, free drugs, all that. That's still there if you want it, but I don't really seek that out any more.
Layne Staley
Music is the doorway that has led me to drawing, photography, and writing.
Layne Staley
I'm not doing well. Don't try to talk about this to my sister Liz. She will know it sooner or later.
