The Trees was four complete nuts. We didn’t have a damn thing in common except insanity. So we fought a lot. And we had two brothers – who fought like brothers. Mark Lanegan Read Quote
When I was a kid, I got caught shoplifting by a store security guard in Ellensburg. The next time I saw that store guard was when I got thrown in jail again – this time for not paying court fees. The guy happened to be in jail, too, right next to me. That’s what Eastern Washington is like – you never get too far away from anybody. Mark Lanegan Read Quote
Yeah, well, I guess Andy Williams would be considered by some to be schmaltzy, but to me, he’s one of the greatest singers of all time. Just absolutely amazing. And if anyone doesn’t believe me, just YouTube him. He’s just one of a kind. Mark Lanegan Read Quote
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten to the point where I sent out Christmas cards! But if I did, they would have to feature my pets, that’s for sure. Mark Lanegan Read Quote
I have to have animals. They really make life worth living, and my world actually revolves around them. They know exactly when it’s time to get up, exactly when they’re supposed to get their food, and they let you know. Mine are right there in my face, first thing every morning. Mark Lanegan Read Quote
There’s lots of singers that I love; I don’t know if I used any of them as role models. Maybe I would have been a better singer when I started if I had. Mark Lanegan Read Quote
When I was a kid in the late ’60s and early ’70s, my parents and their friends would play the records of Andy Williams, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Perry Como, music with string arrangements and men singing songs that sounded sad whether they were or not. Mark Lanegan Read Quote
