That's probably half the reason I wanted to be in a band - I wanted to see the world.

When we moved to Seattle, everybody kind of disappeared into different corners of the city and it was a very difficult time for the band.

I would've loved to have been in a band, but sadly I just wasn't good enough.

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

Part of why I started a band was due to feelings of shyness and social ineptitude. I saw it as some way of being able to interact with people from a safe distance.

As soon as it was understood that we could handle things in our own way, it was the thrill of my life to walk out on that stage with people just hemming the band in.

When I moved to New York, I had to let my band know that I couldn't play anymore, and that was difficult to leave that behind.

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 was just glad to meet somebody outside of my group of small town friends who was into music. Somebody else who had aspirations to do something more than sing at a record hop.

Since I was a teenager, I wanted to be in a band with my mates: my pure image of a band.
