I'm not doing well. Don't try to talk about this to my sister Liz. She will know it sooner or later.
Layne Staley
Drugs will have a huge effect on my work for the rest of my life, whether I'm using or not.
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.

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
We try to be real nice and friendly to people, but sometimes they take advantage of that.

One of the first bands to break out of Seattle was Heart.
Layne Staley
We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.
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
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
There's no huge, deep message in any of the songs. We recorded a few months of being human.
Layne Staley
People have a right to ask questions and dig deep when you're hurting people and things around you.
Layne Staley
Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.
