Mark Lanegan

I would only tell a story if I was being mercilessly heckled. That's the only time I would talk to the audience.

I had a lot of jobs when I was younger. Where I grew up, there was a lot of agricultural jobs, so I worked on a lot of farms. I worked in the pea fields, harvesting peas.

I wasn't the easiest guy to work with when I was younger.

It isn't important to me how people respond to my work.

I'm about creating a body of work and moving on to the next thing.

Collaboration is part of what keeps me interested in music.
