For me, something will come in my head and I'll either end up calling my cell phone to record it, or I'll just pick my guitar up and see what comes out. Sometimes it sucks, sometimes it doesn't. So there's really no set method behind it.

I think if I try to develop a formula, it ends up not working.

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

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

I'd like to be a piano player.

As a kid, I was heavily into martial arts and wanted to be the next Jean-Claude Van Damme.

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.

I get to hang out with Billy Bob Thornton at his house. We hang out over there every time we're in L.A., because he doesn't go out. We'll hang and he'll play us some of his tunes. It's pretty awesome.

My kids are now the most popular kids in their school.

Some goals you just never really think about trying to achieve because they just seem so out of reach.

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.

Ed Kowalczyk is my favorite singer.

I will continue to pursue my music and live my life with my family.

I don't want to be that parent that puts my kids into what I think they should be in, you know what I mean?

For me, you have to not have a formula. You have to not even sit down and say, 'I want to write right now.' It has to just kind of come out. It's not something you can plan.

It doesn't matter how good you are as a band or how good your music may be; if the fans aren't supporting it and buying your music, it's hard to make it.

For me, I want my kids to find their way. If they're interested in something, I want them to try it out.

In the '90s, guitar solos were dead.

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

I just like music. If it's hookey and good, I dig it.
