My lifes a wreck, and I love it.

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

Obviously everybody knows that I'm an original songwriter and I got my band. And the guys in Sugar Money, no matter what, are part of my family and they always got something to do with me, and I don't care if they just hang out with me.

I was so happy and content with in life playing music. Music was always my first job and my day gig was my second job.

I think I started lip-synching about halfway through the first day, and it's not as easy as you think it would be. But it's definitely better than a day job.

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

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.
