American Idol transcends age, gender, ethnicity, everything.

I love having my hair and makeup done for red carpets, but to have that done every day would be exhausting.

I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people we want to love.

I feel like since I've had a child I've become a better problem-solver, because you just have to! I have to be positive for him for sure, but it's not even about thinking about it. It's just how to make this work, and it can get pretty nutty, but it's fun too!

I'm not the first person to sing about God, Jesus, faith [or] any of that, and I won't be the last. And it won't be the last for me, either. If you don't like it, change the channel.

I respect country music because I feel like it's more about the talent and the songwriting.

If you stick to what you know; you sell yourself short.
