More quotes by 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
Drugs will have a huge effect on my work for the rest of my life, whether I'm using or not.
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
I started out when I was about 12, playing drums. I started singing when I was about 15.

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.

Drugs are not the way to the light. They won't lead to a fairy-tale life, they lead to suffering.
Layne Staley
There's no huge, deep message in any of the songs. We recorded a few months of being human.
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
People have a right to ask questions and dig deep when you're hurting people and things around you.

We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.
Layne Staley
Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.

You my friend,I will defend,and if we change well, I love you anyway.

Andrew Wood's death changed things for a few weeks. I probably got even heavier into drugs after that.
Layne Staley
What do you mean, I'm a wild front man! I'm jumping all over, I do the dance moves.
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
Sure God's all powerful, but does he have lips?
Layne Staley
I'm not using drugs to get high like many people think. I know I made a big mistake when I started using this sh-. It's a very difficult thing to explain. My liver is not functioning and I'm throwing up all the time and shitting my pants. The pain is more than you can handle. It's the worst pain in the world. Dope sick hurts the entire body.
