You run the risk of falling on your face, but, again, music is an individual pursuit - it is made to please yourself first.
Mark LaneganI think when you're young and you get together with a group of guys who think like you and you start to make something that moves you as a group of people and you have a common goal, that's an exciting time.
Mark LaneganI'm a very private person. What I did in the past or what somebody heard me do or has a bootleg of me doing...well, if you have a bootleg, then I did it.
Mark LaneganI really love that type of music where someone can take a guitar or light instrumentation and a beautiful voice and can send me somewhere.
Mark LaneganWorking with different people and do things that normally I would not do makes the music interesting for me to continue. It keeps me alive. When I'm doing something alone, that is mine, I know how it is. But when I'm working with someone else, I also see the view from the other, and usually learn something new, try something different. This is very important to my happiness.
