Nobody's going to tell me that my dog doesn't love me. That's crazy talk.

Wake up feeling like my life's worth living. Can't recall when I last felt that way. Guess it must be all this love you're giving. Never knew never knew it could be like this, but I guess some hearts they just get all the right breaks. Some hearts have the stars on their side. Some hearts they just have it so easy. Some hearts just get lucky sometimes.

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

Lord, I feel so small sometimes in this great big old world. Yeah, I know there are more important things. But don't forget to remember me.

You work side is for everybody. When you're at home, you're not wearing heels and your work attire.

I was terrified of graduating college and not knowing what I was going to do. I saw the auditions for Idol and thought, Why not? I always liked to sing. You know when they asked, "Are you the next American Idol?" I said yes, but I didn't mean it.
