I think that all of the scars and all of the layers that I've built over the years made me the person that I am today, and I'm pretty happy about that person.

With my solo music, I really try to step out of the box and do stuff I don't get to do with the boys. I wanted it to be fun, rock-infused and try some new things while going back to my roots. "All American" the song is one of my favorites from the album, which is why I chose to title the album after it. To me, it's the perfect song to represent the feel of the album.

I'm excited to just have somebody that I can protect. Someone I can make sure is superloved and never really experiences the turmoil that I went through with my family, to just have a really loving environment that grows intelligent and in love and breathes happiness and productivity.

It may sound funny, but I got a thrill when I was pulled into a crowd once. It was like 'How am I going to get out of this?!

Fame is a lot of pressure, especially when you're responsible for your entire family. Financially, emotionally - everything.

Thankfully I have a fan base that wants to see me, so I really enjoy creating music that is different.

I can be shy when I talk to women. I'm a shy dude.
