Have a little faith. Don't give up.

I want to do all types of music, music for all people. I want my music to be encouraging, to help people.

I guarantee that if you talk to some of the young ladies that are out on the street selling their bodies -if you sit them down and really talk to them - they'll tell you that they've been abused, physically and mentally. They go through this stage where they don't care, because you don't feel like you're worth anything.

I've been wanting to sing for a long time. I've been singing all my life, and I've tried different record companies, but it seemed like - it was such a struggle and so hard to get out there. So, I said, 'I'm gonna go on American Idol and see how far it takes me.'

I always say you've only got one life to live, and you're not promised a tomorrow. So, you might as well just have a good time with it.

Have a little faith. Don't give up.

I want people to just to see, all you got to do is have a little faith.
