For me the visual is just as important as the music.

I've never watched an entire episode of 'American Idol'. It's too mean.

My parent's divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise.

I feel things deeply.

It's a big responsibility to help someone express themselves as an artist.

I'm a hard worker and I really give to my fans through my shows.

When you're part of a pop phenomenon, you have so many opinions shoved down your throat.
