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

None of the original love and feel for going on stage is gone. I'm not a true singer. I'm performer, and I need to be on stage.

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

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

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.

Of course, we wrote the songs accordingly and performed and recorded them that way. At that time, we really thought it was right, but you know, seen in retrospect, it made the album sound forced, and not really great.

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.
