Actually, I don't hate cats, I'm just kind of afraid of them.

I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up. But I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here.

I’m religious. I think this is something God had planned for me.

I want everyone to vote. I want everyone to be a part of electing officials. Because when we are not a part, when we don’t have a very broad voter base, then we don’t have true representation.

I had been told by a number of people that if you get half of what you want on your first album, you’re doing really well. Pretty much every single thing they had was something that I liked. There were maybe one or two songs I didn’t like, and they were taken off the album quickly.

I’m really not that special. Really, I’m not. I was on a big TV show, but it was just a TV show.

As long as you’re living right, then you don’t have to worry about what people see.

I was on TV for almost sixteen weeks during American Idol. It’s at the point now where it’s old.

Well, financially it’s a little bit better. But it’s better than than when I was a teacher. But I kind of – it’s allowed me to buy a house. And I’ve been able to help my mother with some stuff and my brother. So, that’s nice.

I mean, that’s kind of what this business is about in some ways. You’re trying to make everybody like you. But you can’t do that. You can’t force everybody – anybody to like you if they’re just not willing to do it.
