When I'm on stage, I feel like a performer, for sure. I know people are looking at me and taking pictures and singing along, and that part's wonderful.

God put us here, on this carnival ride. We close our eyes never knowing where it'll take us next.

When I was in seventh grade, I totally had a crush on a guy who was older than me, and he listened to alternative music. So he was into Days of the New and stuff like that, and more poppy stuff, too, like Matchbox Twenty.

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

I've heard all kinds of crazy rumors about myself. I've even heard that I'm pregnant! I've become real good about laughing things off - I figure I'd better get used to it.

If I can convince others that there is a God and that they need to know Him, then I have done my job.

I don’t know why terrible things happen to us sometimes. But I have to believe that something good is going to come of this.
