I know who I am as an artist. I've always known who I am as an artist.
Some people take pictures, I write songs.
I love Soundgarden, I love Rage Against the Machine, Simon & Garfunkel.
I have a pretty wide range of musical tastes.
I like that I stand for something like American Idol which helps musicians and artists get out there. It's important to have shows like Idol because it's so hard to get into the music industry nowadays - nearly impossible.
