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

Believe half of what you see and only some of what you hear, unless you hear it from me.

I'm living my dream now.

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 kids are now the most popular kids in their school.

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