ADAM DURITZFor me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn’t mean you’re fantastic.
ADAM DURITZYou want to embrace, but I can’t figure out how to hold on to it.
ADAM DURITZCloseness to other people is really hard, but it’s also a shame because it’s all you want too. But it doesn’t always work.
ADAM DURITZYour misery is everyone else’s entertainment.
ADAM DURITZYou have a career, the reason why we’re still around 10 years is that we do have successful songs.
ADAM DURITZYou have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you’re in a group of people that you work with. It’s not so much, do they make you feel good when you’re around them all the time; it’s how can you make everyone feel comfortable together.
ADAM DURITZI’m not a spiritual person at all, but I do think that the world doesn’t have to be as lonely as it is.
ADAM DURITZI’m really good in a crisis, because I don’t panic.
ADAM DURITZBravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.
ADAM DURITZCloseness to another person is like a fear of falling off a building to me. It’s really, like, physically painful, and it’s a brand of crazy I don’t appreciate having.
ADAM DURITZTruth is, you make albums, and some of those songs are hits, and some of the greatest hits albums have songs that weren’t hits.
ADAM DURITZI’ve spent most of my life living in cities where people are obsessed with looking down on people from everywhere else.
ADAM DURITZI think I’d been limiting myself in some ways just writing in first person all the time.
ADAM DURITZIf you’ve never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.
ADAM DURITZI can remember being eight years old and having infinite possibilities. But life ends up being so much less that we thought it would be when we were kids, with relationships that are so empty and stupid and brutal.
