It doesn't matter how good you are as a band or how good your music may be; if the fans aren't supporting it and buying your music, it's hard to make it.

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 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.

My son's taking drum lessons, and my daughter's taking piano lessons. One day they're going to start a band.

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

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

My kids are now the most popular kids in their school.
