I went to school for special education. I always assumed when I had the opportunity I would love to try and help kids with disabilities.

I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up, but I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here.

I like to talk. I'm a terrible dancer. I love my hometown. I have freckles and oversized ears. I'm a geeks. I have tried not to hide who I am or what matters to me.

I could have a degree in music and come on the show, and Simon could still say 'You stink'.

Every kiss is a kiss you can never get back.

There are stars out there who would die to have this much exposure.

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.
