My brothers are my backbone. My parents are my oxygen. I can't live without them.
I will never shy away from embarrassing myself for a good cause
I knew at the time my haircut was pretty damn god-awful, so I was just hoping that I wasn't one of the joke ones. And they put me through to Hollywood and I thought, "Well okay, maybe I'm still one of the joke ones but at least I'm not terrible?"
Life has a strange way of working itself out
I live for Tuesdays, and die by Wednesdays.
I'm competitive to a fault, so of course every week I'm just like, "I want to win, I want to do great."
I got to play with ZZ Top and introduce Bryan Adams and George Michael. And to have it all topped off by me winning 'American Idol?!' It's pretty absurd.
The further you go on the show, the larger the budget gets. But in the beginning they were just like, "Here's a hundred bucks in L.A. Good luck."
I spent a majority of my life in Kansas City, so I am a Chiefs and Royals guy. I used to work for the Royals for like five years in the suites department and in the stadium club restaurant.
I'd always wanted to grow my hair out. And now looking back on those photos I understand why I probably shouldn't have...
Some of the best rock shows I ever saw were those appealing to all your senses.
It's amazing what a spray-on tan will do.
I'm admittedly a record guy. Singles and I are a different beast. I'm definitely an overall picture thinker.
I think the future is whatever I'm willing to make it.
