You can make low-budget film as long as there is something compelling about the characters. There is a believability in the chemistry and a likeability amongst the characters.

I never really thought we'd fitted into the cross-over drawer. But I think the real Sugar Ray fans did like us because we always had variety and because we experimented a lot.

You know how it is with drawers and labels in the music business. They don't want anything to be complicated. They just want it simple, as simple as possible.

Today they're praising you sky high, place you on a pedestal and tomorrow they don't want to know you.

As a lead singer, all I want to do is be in my own head and think about how great I am. That's a lead singer's disease.

I love to perform. I've never lost the urge. I've never once been on stage when I didn't want to be.

As a performer, I want to hit the last row of the arena. I want to make big moves. I'm a spaz, naturally.

When I go to karaoke, I'm still the worst guy there.

I'm a huge boxing fan. I love the strategy and the combat.

When you become a commodity to a record label because you're making them millions of dollars, you can take all of your artistic integrity and throw it out the window.

Imagination should be integrated with life, not turned into a separate activity, art, that monopolizes one's whole existence.

When I was a kid I used to go to the movies, double features in outdoor theaters, and my parents used to take us to see like, 'Cat On a Hot Tin Roof' or something like that, with Elizabeth Taylor.

It simply comes down to this, Get Busy Living, or Get Busy Dying.
