Carving out an identity for yourself is important so I'm trying to do that as well.

I've been known to make out with girls from time to time. Couple drinks involved, you know, it's fun. And who knows, maybe it'll go further someday.

I'm trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader.

I had a lot of fun with my costume designer.

I think the difficult thing is the transition between TV competition series and going into the actual music industry. There still seems to be a slight disconnect there.

So pretty much, to sum it up, if you can freak someone out and bring that kind of emotion out of somebody with a song, you're doing something right.

I want to upset people, I want to make people think, I want to keep people interested.
