My son's taking drum lessons, and my daughter's taking piano lessons. One day they're going to start a band.
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.
I'm not ashamed of selling millions of records. I'm very fortunate to be in that position.
I'm looking to see what the bigger picture is.
I'd like to be a piano player.
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.
I think I definitely enjoy recording, but I think it's more fun to go out and perform live, because it's like instant gratification, you know? You feel the response immediately.
I do belong on stage.
You marry somebody; you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.
