For me, something will come in my head and I'll either end up calling my cell phone to record it, or I'll just pick my guitar up and see what comes out. Sometimes it sucks, sometimes it doesn't. So there's really no set method behind it.

For me, I want my kids to find their way. If they're interested in something, I want them to try it out.

Some goals you just never really think about trying to achieve because they just seem so out of reach.

I was always in bands before, but on 'American Idol,' it was about getting my voice out there. It was always my goal, though, to get a band together again.

Maybe some people thought I was 'safe' so they didn't really bothered to vote for me at all.

I don't want to be that parent that puts my kids into what I think they should be in, you know what I mean?

I just like music. If it's hookey and good, I dig it.
