Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Mark: (on the process of creating an album) It's really laborious for us [Sugar Ray] to get songs done because it's truly a collaborative effort. There's five guys in this band and every guy gets his opinion or his music heard. No one writes songs by themselves, so it's a process to get everyone's ideas in coming up with a song.
-
Mark: The greatest thing about Hollywood is the most talented people don't necessarily make it. I made it as a singer and I can barely sing. I can hit a couple notes and I can get by.
-
Mark: (defining the reasons behind the soft spot he holds of his '68 Caddie) The elegance, class, and unnecessary hugeness of it all. It also holds a special memory for me cause when I was little my grandma used to take me for rides in it to get ice cream.
-
Mark: I haven't been to confessional in years - they'd have to close down the church for a week.
-
Mark: God didn't put me on this earth to be the singer of a band.
-
Mark: I'm a huge boxing fan. I love the strategy and the combat. I'm not a fighter, but I would love to be a boxer because I love the courage and toughness. I mean, there can be nothing more terrifying than walking into an arena and looking at Mike Tyson in the ring. That's pretty terrifying!
