- Kevin Scott Richardson: I thought to myself: Damn are we Guns "N" Roses now? What the hell is going on?
- A.J. McLean: I would see Kevin drunk, or Brian drunk, or Howie drunk, or Nick drunk but I would keep right on going to the point of being sloppy drunk.
- Kevin Scott Richardson: I said you're doing this. Come on get up and he yelled at us and I said "You know what? I'm done with you. I hate you. I don't trust you."
- Brian Littrell: We sang a cappella and the cameramen and the interviewers, everybody around, was- they were like
- [Mouth drops open]
- Brian Littrell: "Oh, my gosh... you know, these guys are, like, they're really doing it."
- Brian Littrell: I was in a fog, because we were just going, going, going and then somebody tells you "You might think about having heart surgery," and you're like "Pfft!... What?"
- Brian Littrell: [On his heart surgery] The pressure that I was getting from the outside world, like, well, we can't stop.
- A.J. McLean: Girls would throw condoms, bras, panties. And some of them... I believe, had just come off.
- A.J. McLean: My grandmother died right when I was right into my coke binge. And, you know, she died right there in front of me.
- A.J. McLean: It's like hopefully nothing else bad will happen, you know? We've been through ENOUGH. So...
- A.J. McLean: I mean, everybody parties. There were plenty of times I saw Howie drunk, or Nick drunk, or Kevin drunk, or Brian drunk, but I would keep going until the point of being sloppy drunk.
- A.J. McLean: They just laughed at us. Like "You guys are nuts! We're not gonna put this on the air! You guys are dancing in the rain in florescent shirts and white linen pants! What the hell are you thinking?"
- Kevin Scott Richardson: He said he'd been down the road at the bowling ally, which had a bar, and he had a couple shots of Jack Daniel's to loosen his throat, and I thought "Hmm. Well, are we Guns N' Roses now, or, what's going on here?"
- Kevin Scott Richardson: It was awesome. We were having a great time. Girls were going nuts. They were loving us. And we were loving it.
- Kevin Scott Richardson: At-at that point, we were just happy that somebody liked what we were doing. It was tiring, but we were young, and we were just on a roll, and we weren't gonna stop.
- Kevin Scott Richardson: Brian had a lot of animosity towards us because, uh, we didn't show a lot of compassion. But, you know, we were young, and naïve, and selfish, and afraid. And at the time, I don't think ANY of us showed any compassion for his situation.
- Nick Carter: We would hop on a plane, do a show, that same night get on a plane, sleep on the floor for, like, an hour in the dressing room, get up, perform.
- A.J. McLean: The first time I tried cocaine was the night that we shot 'The Call' video and I made it a point to tell everybody, practically everybody on set, that I was on coke, cause I was freakin' paranoid, like a mother.
