I never know tomorrow what I might be doing. I just ask God to lead me and show me and direct me and help me and support me in it. So I just wait to hear the call.

Depression runs in my family on both sides, and I have to be wary.

Daddy's working boots have taken many steps for us.

I will never retire unless I have to.

People are always asking me in interviews, 'What do you think of foreign affairs?' I just say, 'I've had a few.'

Some things are strange to me, and some things are odd. But I don't condemn. If you can accept me, I can accept you.

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