Well, fortunately we found out that the runner-up our particular year was going to get a record contract also. So it was kind of a - it was bitter sweet but it was an opportunity.

I'd hate to have a job where I had to be rude to people.

You know, I think I'm a stronger person for realizing that you can't make everybody love you.

I was on TV for almost sixteen weeks during American Idol. It's at the point now where it's old.

I got rid of my glasses and they changed my hair. That's really all they did. They went shopping for me, so the clothes are different too. It wasn't like Extreme Makeover where I got a nose job or anything.

And I think that when I finally decided to let go and let God and allow that to happen, I became a lot more successful than I could have done if I had planned it all myself.

As long as you're living right, then you don't have to worry about what people see.
