I won the Melody Maker award for vocalist of the year.

After I'd won the Melody Maker award, things were sort of confused. I was already with John, he was with Fleetwood Mac, and I was with Chicken Shack. We never saw anything of one another, so I left the band.

There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can.

The Heisman is the biggest award I've ever won.

We did have a guy last year, Jonas Jacobson ['05], who won a top attorney award at the national championship, which is pretty sweet.

Since there's only room for me to write a few songs on each band album, I really have to use my songs. But on my own album I had room to use songs I wanted.
