"It was a pretty exciting time. You're taken off guard as a young band. You don't know what all of it means to find your record on the shelf and your band name on a marquee. You're met with all sorts of new characters in your cast of relations, and a good many of them are there for the opportunity that your art/product represents. The naive parts of me thought, wow, there sure are a lot of new nice people around! Some of them have proved to be genuine, but it was a learning lesson.
There was so much pressure to make it great. Then there was the question in the back of your head: Will this be the last as well as the first? In some ways, that accounts for the urgency on the album, and it also accounts for whatever's misdirected on it. But I think it's a pretty solid record." Source: EliotWilder.com, 2001
"The lyrics are full of sexual imagery. I've been told by more than one woman that Fuzzy happens to be the record of choice when it comes to finding a nice background to, well, you know... These songs have to entertain me and bear repetition. Talking about it is the worst thing of all - I could probably point out things in there that would destroy me, and obviously I won't, but the less vulnerable I choose to make myself, the harder it is to write. To dig it all up, to scrape it like a surgeon leaves me feeling like a gold mine that's been stripped and is just a hole." Source: Let's Go To Work, Q Magazine, ca. 1994
