There's a lot of things that are said on the American Idol message board. I quit reading them because most of the people are very mean.

I'm glad I can present a polished version of myself when it counts.

The only other time I've been away from home was when I went to college. And that was just an hour away, so I could always go home if I needed to.

Getting revenge on a guy is just not worth it to me. I mean, it definitely sucks at the time, but obviously you're not supposed to be with that person.

I can do everything I want to do.

I feel like when I'm on stage, when I'm writing songs, singing songs, I'm in the studio, I'm shooting videos, I kind of get to become this character, and I can make that whatever I want to make that.

I always wanted to be married for a little while before a baby. You know what? It does make me choose my wardrobe differently because if I wear something a little baggy, I'm like, "No, it looks like I'm having a baby!"
