A biography for Laura Marlinghasn’t been written yet.
“The romanticised life, where all the great poetry and music and art of the world comes from, is great but it requires a lot of self-indulgence.”
“I definitely tell things at arm's length but that is conscious. No part of me wants everybody to know what's going on.”
“I've been quite fascinated by the relative insignificance of human existence, the shortness of life. We might as well be a letter in a word in a sentence on a page in a book in a library in a city in one country in this enormous universe! And that kind of fear and insignificance has kept me awake at night.”
“I feel like I'm creeping closer to finding the situation that triggers songwriting, which is obviously an extreme of an emotion.”
“No one starts playing my kind of music to make a fortune. But I do want to keep doing what I do and I do want to continue selling records. And I would, eventually, quite like some money.”
