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

In the '90s, guitar solos were dead.

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

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.

When I got into music, I wanted to learn guitar just enough to be able to write songs. I wanted to be able to express myself.

I wanted to be a martial arts film star when I was a teenager.

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