I'm not classically trained, but I am flawed in a very fantastic way!

I like to have fun. I'm definitely sexually liberated and all that good stuff.

I've been such an oddball my whole life, but I've always been cool and I've always dressed fairly smartly.

There was a time when I didn't like myself at all. I thought I was a cruel joke. But now I've come to realise that maybe I am not cute, but I am beautiful.

You have to dream big, wish hard and chase after your goals, because no one is going to do it for you.

I get to thinking about my life, and it sometimes makes me want to make it interesting.

Meanwhile, NBC and I plan to continue our relationship with several new co-ventures including a new music show, while we also explore our ideas for me to create and host a new show of my own. I will not go quietly into the night... expect more great music and entertainment done in my own unique unmistakable and undeniable way. The Voice has given me all the altitude and incentive to do just that. Thanks for the memories and make way for many more!
