"'Fly' is a banging track. It's not like us; I don't know how we wrote it. We were just sitting around, and we just created it slowly. The song evolved over a period of time, I mean, but in terms of the final product, it was written in three minutes. We had a fight at practice in New York. Mark bailed and everybody was in a bad mood. Stan, our drummer, wrote the chorus. We had writers' block and we were writing all these heavy songs, and all of a sudden it just happened." - Murphy
"This is the best time right now. We're just trying to enjoy it. We know it's not going to last. I mean the highest of highs; these are them right now. So we've got to enjoy them. This year is a new year, it could take us higher, it could be the same, it could go a little lower, we don't know. There's a core fan base out there, really psycho Sugar Ray fans who really love what we're doing. And you can't go wrong with that. No matter what happens. I'm cool with that." - Murphy
