It’s impossible having five, six, seven people in a room being creative together and not fight, because you want to fight. It’s the only way creativity works, if you all put your ideas in.
ADAM DURITZIt’s impossible having five, six, seven people in a room being creative together and not fight, because you want to fight. It’s the only way creativity works, if you all put your ideas in.
ADAM DURITZThe nice thing about being on stage is it’s not that I know what to do, but I have a very clear feeling that anything I do is OK. All I’m up there to do is express how I feel. Any way I choose to do that is fine.
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 DURITZWhen everybody loves me, I will never be lonely.
ADAM DURITZ. If this person makes you feel good, then they’re a person to be around; if they don’t, they’re not. Being in a band is different.
ADAM DURITZA long December and there’s reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.
ADAM DURITZI’m so busy trying to breathe through the pain that I’m breathing through the pain of being with people, and that is no way to spend a life.
ADAM DURITZYou live through stuff, and it affects the way you feel about the world, and you write about it.
ADAM DURITZSometimes the world seems like a big hole. You spend all your life shouting down it and all you hear are echoes of some idiot yelling nonsense down a hole.
ADAM DURITZI find that truly heartbreaking that, like, it’s such a common, constant thing in people’s lives – a brutal abuse of people by other people, and it’s just accepted.
ADAM DURITZYou have a career, the reason why we’re still around 10 years is that we do have successful songs.
ADAM DURITZI’ve been playing music most of my life.
ADAM DURITZIt’s always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.
ADAM DURITZYou aren’t really writing about what you did; you’re writing about how you feel.
ADAM DURITZFor all the things I’m losing I might aswell resign myself to try and make a change.
ADAM DURITZI’m really good in pain. I snapped my leg in half on stage and played a whole show. But I can’t sit there with someone that loves me.
