It was pretty frightening because as we all know, when large, famous groups breakup, a lot of the members don't survive in solo careers.

The groups, though, were my inspiration way back then. I liked Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers.

In the beginning, I was frightened to death of going solo. Especially when doing live shows, I was so used to my brothers being next to me. It felt like the crowd was just looking at me, waiting for me to either mess up or prove myself.

I was taught that you didn't want to be part of the group - that it was better to do your own thing.

I never imagined I'd be a solo artist. And now I couldn't imagine being part of a group.

I was very introverted. You know, I had my close group of friends, but I really didn't care what the cool kids were doing.

I didn't have the confidence to leave the band because of a solo career, or anything like that. I just wanted to grow.

I'm not really part of any group or clique or gang because that's always been my nature.

I was an intimate sort of child who never spoke up in groups. I preferred close friends.

I feel like a member of any group comprised of outsiders.
