More Quotes from Adam Duritz:
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts.Adam Duritz
Art is just an expression, it's something you do because you need to express yourself. You take what's going on on the inside and put it on the outside, that's just who you are. I just write songs because I feel a certain way. When you've got a bunch of them, that's an album. They're all different.
