Creed was ended by egos and people wanting to do their own thing and poor decision-making.

I'd fired anyone who was involved with Creed. I didn't want anything to do with the music business. The entire press and industry hated me, so what was the point?

Creed's sound is my sound.

I was a Christian in Creed, but nobody ever asked me.

Make your creed simply and broadly out of the revelation of God, and you will keep it to the end.

Well, once we finish something, I can't really listen to it because all I hear are problems.

I felt I had to solve everyone's problems.

'Rocky' is an incredibly human story, and 'Creed' is very inspired by the Rocky lore, but there's something kind of profound in letting it all go. This is the first time I'm co-writing, and I'm learning as I go. This process is so different from 'Fruitvale'; hopefully it gets made.

I think the fact is that World Coming Down was just a really hard album for people to deal with.

My music started as a way to break through weaknesses - like anxiety, which was completely taking over my whole life, where I could barely function.
