I think it has a lot to do with determination. I treat people the way I want to be treated and believe if you work hard you can have the things you want in life.

My lifes a wreck, and I love it.

Just practice hard and stay grounded. Treat people like you want to be treated and work hard.

I didn't have a lot to do with the first record.

I think America did a great job. I think Carrie Underwood fits the bill of American Idol. She's a wonderful girl, and she's gonna have a great career.

I picked and co-wrote the songs that if I was a guy who would be spending my hard-earned money buying an album I would want to hear.

I'd like to expand on doing what I love and venture out a bit more. I would like to play consistantly good music. Eventually someday I would like to open up a school and teach kids about music.
