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.

To me not one thing is better than anything else, I'm completely proud of everything I've written and recorded.
Jerry Fulton Cantrell Jr. Alice in Chains -
We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences.
Layne Thomas Staley Alice in Chains -
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.

I saw all the suffering that Kurt Cobain went through. I saw this real vibrant person turn into a real shy, timid, withdrawn person.

I'm doing the best I can with what I got and that's all anybody in my band is doing.

I'm dumbfounded by me all the time. Wow! What a.... thrill.....and a joy

There's nothing worse than talking about yourself to find out that you're not that interesting.

You feel different every day of your life. You just have to create your own space to survive, personally and professionally.

Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.
Layne Thomas Staley Alice in Chains -
I was in a band when I was 15. We were a glam band. Then I couldn't afford to buy makeup. At the time that was the thing.

If we found some other dude, to sing I'd love to move on. Write some cool tunes and change the name and go on like that. I don't see continuing as Alice and replacing somebody. We're not trying to replace Layne. We want to play these songs one more time, and if it seems like the right thing to do, it'll happen. I don't know how long it will go or where it will take us. It's kind of a tribute to Layne and our fans, the people who love these songs. It's not some 'I'm broke and I need the money' situation. We love playing together.

I started out when I was about 12, playing drums. I started singing when I was about 15.
Layne Thomas Staley Alice in Chains -
We're going to go and play the songs one more time. It seems like the right time, so I figure we'll go out and play a few gigs and see where it goes. I think we might just show up in assorted places in the U.S. in the next few months without much notice and play some clubs and little theaters, and then go to Europe and play these festival gigs. Beyond that, we don't know at this point.

My bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and my talent are my title.

I wish I could just hug you all, but I'm not gonna.

One of the first bands to break out of Seattle was Heart.

I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied.
Layne Thomas Staley Alice in Chains -
We write about ourselves because we know about ourselves.
Layne Thomas Staley Alice in Chains -
I'm not into religion, but I have a good grasp on my spirituality. I just believe that I'm not the greatest power on this earth. I didnt create myself, because I would have done a hell of a better job.
