Creed's sound is my sound.

The Christian community latched onto a lot of my music, because there were a lot of things about my struggle they related to. But I didn't really want to come out and be identified as a Christian, because I didn't want to be a hypocrite, because my life wasn't right.

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.

Now, there are people that are Christian artists, because they have a purpose to be evangelical for Christ. I don't feel I've been called to that yet. Now, that could change. There's no telling what kind of call God will put on my life.

I'm still going to make mistakes, but I don't have any problems with publicly professing my faith now. It just took me a long time to get to the right place in my relationship with Christ.

Sure I hear what people say. But the only opinions I care about are from the fans.

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