As a kid, I was heavily into martial arts and wanted to be the next Jean-Claude Van Damme.

I'm not ashamed of selling millions of records. I'm very fortunate to be in that position.

I'm looking to see what the bigger picture is.

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

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

Ed Kowalczyk is my favorite singer.

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.
