I was very honored to get to be part of 'American Idol.'

the magic is inside you. there ain't no crystal ball

I usually eat breakfast twice. I'm usually up at 3 a.m. - do my spiritual work, my affirmations, a little bit of songwriting, get my daily work in order, and by that time I've worked up a bigger appetite.

I modelled my looks on the town tramp.
