“I love to sing, and I love to talk to people at meet-and-greets.”

Gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and break away. I won’t forget the place I came from.

I don’t love traveling, because I’m never home. It’s hard when you have a family.

I’m actually not a big fan of the word hope. I think it’s a depressing word. I don’t want to hope – I want to know. Like I don’t hope there’s a God, I know there’s a God.

It’s amazing to impact people’s lives – it’s a cool thing to have the spotlight and be able to reassure people, to say, “It’s OK to be you.”

I do cardio. I run. I strength-train using my own body weight. I don’t like free weights, because I build muscle easily.

Now all that’s left of me, is what I pretend to be. So together, but so broken up inside.

As a mom, you just don’t have time, so you get straight to the point.

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly. I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky.

The question I love to get asked is: ‘What’s the hardest part of your job?’ And literally, the answer is probably real sad, but it’s to just to be me. Like, it’s really hard, because I think people, you know, have a set idea of what a pop star should be.

I’m always going to be a singer.

The thing I love most about going on vacation is that I get to leave behind any kind of schedule. My entire life is scheduled from morning to night, and when I’m on vacation, there is no schedule.

I am just like my mother. She raised me to love and take care of animals, especially the ones that need it the most and so I started Eddie’s Rescue Ranch. We take in animals that need extra care and attention and the animals that get left behind.

Even though I hate acting, I love doing videos for my songs.

Confidence is seen, not heard.

I have a big fear of change, or negative change, anyway. I’m basically the same person I was when I won ‘Idol,’ or when I was 10.

I try not to date musicians. It’s all I’ve dated. Every guy I’ve dated is a musician. Obviously, it’s not working.

I see the light in your smile.

How, love and addiction can have similar strains – of attachment.

One can easily make the mistake to lose yourself – incompletely.

May I love you away from the evils of today to the dreams of tomorrow, you know heaven has no sorrow.

Whatever road you choose, I’m right behind you win or lose.

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It’s not super-poetic, it’s just from the heart.

As much as I love having the opportunity to speak. I love the opportunity to learn just as much!

You really just want to know that somebody loves you for you. Sometimes you feel like an ATM machine with a wig on it.
