I will continue to pursue my music and live my life with my family.

I will continue to pursue my music and live my life with my family.

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

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.

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

I get to hang out with Billy Bob Thornton at his house. We hang out over there every time we're in L.A., because he doesn't go out. We'll hang and he'll play us some of his tunes. It's pretty awesome.

I'm living my dream now.
