When I started the Imagination Library in my hometown, I never dreamed that one day we would be helping Scottish kids.

If you're feeling low, don't despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back up every morning.

When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they're not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can 'cause I know I'm gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.

I wake up with new dreams every day...more I can do to channel that into things that I love to create is healthier for me and probably for everybody around me.

When someone shows you their true colors, believe them.

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

I love traveling all over the world; but it's true: there's nothing like home.
