I was shopping at my local mall in Dallas that I've gone to for like three years now. And everyone was like "Oh my God, who's that? Who's that?" And I was like whatever, because you know, there are like 20 people traveling with me. It's like I have an entourage following me -- which is so funny.

I auditioned [for America's Most Talented Kids] just to see where I would rank. I had been playing [gigs] around town, and I wanted to see what people thought of me because when I played a show, everyone would clap but I didn't know what they were really thinking.

I don't know what's going to happen. I take it day by day, playing my music.

College is for finding yourself. I've established who I want to be.

Can't sleep unless the TV is on.

I look up to Mandy Moore, because she's really classy. But when it comes to music, I'm my own person.

I see a lot of true artists... then you see them on the cover of Maxim. That's the lowest of low to me. I would never do anything like that.
