My problems were not what ended Creed.

Creed was ended by egos and people wanting to do their own thing and poor decision-making.

I always believed in God and Christ, but I was in rebellion - trying to make my relationship with God fit into my life instead of making my life fit in with him. I was stubborn.

My problems were not what ended Creed.

When something like that happens, people want to try to find some dirt and make it more of a soap opera. But I think we both walked away with the door still open, if we want to do something together again. So yeah, I would call it a friendly break-up.

Strip clubs are the only place the band can go if we want to have a drink. You're left alone because the last thing the people there care about is us.

I'd fired anyone who was involved with Creed. I didn't want anything to do with the music business. The entire press and industry hated me, so what was the point?
