Maybe some people thought I was 'safe' so they didn't really bothered to vote for me at all.

Believe half of what you see and only some of what you hear, unless you hear it from me.

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

If I win, I'll take my wife and buy her a whole new wardrobe. If she's happy then I'll be happy.

Maybe some people thought I was 'safe' so they didn't really bothered to vote for me at all.

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

Ed Kowalczyk is my favorite singer.

I do belong on stage.

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

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

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

I'd like to be a piano player.

I'm living my dream now.

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

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

If people say something rude or off-color, you have to take it with a grain of salt, because they don't know you.

In the '90s, guitar solos were dead.

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.

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

The hits always wind up being the songs with big, high choruses. They're the ones too high to sing every night - not that you'll ever, ever hear me complain about having to try.

There's going to be a flood of opportunities right now but I don't think I could really talk about them.

What I do doesn't sit well in the world of hipsterville. I don't have a cool card, but I also don't have thin skin.

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.

You have to think there's a reason for everything. When a door closes another door opens.

You marry somebody; you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.

My theory is if you have a religion, it's a good one. Because some people don't have any at all.

It's sometimes shocking to find out what people really believe in.

That's Tommy, this great producer who comes in contact with people and must have a mental library of personnel who are great for this and great for that, and he brought this whole group of musicians to the project that I'd never worked with before.

Rock and rollers can get you the youth buzz, and younger people are fanatical readers.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.
