I'd like to teach kids how to write songs. This will be my first year so I'm just as green as some of the rest of the folks. It's like a music camp and I get to hang out with some of the past contestants. ”

I'm not trying to be evasive, but when I say yes and no, I say 'yes' because there are narrow-minded people that won't look past the logo and 'no' because 'American Idol' put me in front of millions of people and I would not have a career without 'Idol.' ”

I think America did a great job. I think Carrie Underwood fits the bill of American Idol. She's a wonderful girl, and she's gonna have a great career. ”

I think I started lip-synching about halfway through the first day, and it's not as easy as you think it would be. But it's definitely better than a day job. ”

I picked and co-wrote the songs that if I was a guy who would be spending my hard-earned money buying an album I would want to hear. ”

I try to be a better dad and husband than I do pretend rock star. ”

I'd like to expand on doing what I love and venture out a bit more. I would like to play consistantly good music. Eventually someday I would like to open up a school and teach kids about music. ”

But whatever the Lord throws at me right now, I think I've been given more blessings than I ever deserved. If he wants to top it off with anything - boy, girl - I would love either of them. ”

It's not just about waking up and trying to be a star... It's practice, practice, practice. ”

My life's a wreck, and I love it. ”
