Layne Staley
Our perception of songs that we've written... the meaning changes from day to day... to whatever stage we're at in our life and careers.

Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.
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
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
I wish I could just hug you all, but I'm not gonna.
Layne Staley
