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 I saw this real vibrant person turn into a real shy, timid, withdrawn person.

That's always been a dream for me, to be able to collaborate and make music with the people that inspired you to make music.

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'm doing the best I can with what I got and that's all anybody in my band is doing.
Jerry Fulton Cantrell Jr. Alice in Chains -
I'm dumbfounded by me all the time. Wow! What a.... thrill.....and a joy
Layne Thomas Staley Alice in Chains -
I'm not doing well. Don't try to talk about this to my sister Liz. She will know it sooner or later.
Layne Thomas Staley Alice in Chains -
There's nothing worse than talking about yourself to find out that you're not that interesting.
Sean Howard Kinney Alice in Chains -
It's just writing about things, feelings, not that we're dark or depressed...just as much as anyone else is.

I found out through the Internet that I have AIDS. I learned that I was dead. Where else would I find these things?
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.

You feel different every day of your life. You just have to create your own space to survive, personally and professionally.
Jerry Fulton Cantrell Jr. Alice in Chains -
I'm not using drugs to get high like many people think. I know I made a big mistake when I started using this sh-. It's a very difficult thing to explain. My liver is not functioning and I'm throwing up all the time and shitting my pants. The pain is more than you can handle. It's the worst pain in the world. Dope sick hurts the entire body.
Layne Thomas Staley Alice in Chains -
Being me is no different than being most anyone else, I guess.

Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.

One thing that you hope for when you want to be a musician is that you have that recognizable sound.
Jerry Fulton Cantrell Jr. 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.
Sean Howard Kinney Alice in Chains -
I started out when I was about 12, playing drums. I started singing when I was about 15.

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

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

One of the first bands to break out of Seattle was Heart.
Layne Thomas Staley Alice in Chains -
I guess I can go anywhere I want. If only I knew where to go.
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.
