Your misery is everyone else’s entertainment.
ADAM DURITZYour misery is everyone else’s entertainment.
ADAM DURITZI think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can’t see how to do it.
ADAM DURITZThere is nothing more important you can ever do for this world than to wake up and be a part of it.
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 DURITZYou have a career, the reason why we’re still around 10 years is that we do have successful songs.
ADAM DURITZI think the biggest, saddest thing that happens in our lives is that we just don’t embrace the things that could make it better because they don’t seem to make it better at any given moment or we can’t decide how to get across the aisle to that person.
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.
ADAM DURITZI can’t remember all the times I’ve tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass
ADAM DURITZI’ve spent most of my life living in cities where people are obsessed with looking down on people from everywhere else.
ADAM DURITZPeople really need to show up early to hear Hollis Brown. They are just an unbelievable live band.
ADAM DURITZThe group is the more important part, and you have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you’re in a group of people that you work with.
ADAM DURITZYou aren’t really writing about what you did; you’re writing about how you feel.
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 DURITZI’m really good in a crisis, because I don’t panic.
ADAM DURITZWhen everybody loves me, I will never be lonely.
ADAM DURITZPeople ask me if I have stage fright. I say, “God, no, I’m completely comfortable there. I have rest-of-the-day fright.”
