More quotes by Layne Staley
I'm dumbfounded by me all the time. Wow! What a.... thrill.....and a joy
Layne Staley
I wrote about drugs, and I didn't think I was being unsafe or careless by writing about them. I didn't want fans to think heroin was cool. But then I've had fans come up to me and give me the thumbs up, telling me they're high. That's exactly what I didn't want to happen.
Layne Staley
I don't think any drug that can cause brain damage, failing kidneys, hardening arteries, pain, and suffering should be made available.
Layne Staley
When everyone goes home, you're stuck with yourself.
Layne Staley
My bed isn't made, I'm tired, I haven't slept well for two weeks. I haven't been laid in a month. I don't have a girlfriend. I have a warrant for my arrest.
Layne Staley
It's just writing about things, feelings, not that we're dark or depressed...just as much as anyone else is.
Layne Staley
Every article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this - that ain't my title.

I'm not into religion, but I have a good grasp on my spirituality. I just believe that I'm not the greatest power on this earth. I didnt create myself, because I would have done a hell of a better job.
Layne Staley
I haven't read anything but regurgitated rumors. Nothing new, and nothing true.
Layne Staley
Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.
Layne Staley
The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote 'em down, and when you listen to 'em, whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what it's about!
Layne Staley
We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.
Layne Staley
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.
Layne Staley
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
Andrew Wood's death changed things for a few weeks. I probably got even heavier into drugs after that.
Layne Staley
It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.
Layne Staley
Drugs are not the way to the light. They won't lead to a fairy-tale life, they lead to suffering.
Layne Staley
I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied.
Layne Staley
I wish I could just hug you all, but I'm not gonna.
Layne Staley
What do you mean, I'm a wild front man! I'm jumping all over, I do the dance moves.
