If my life had to be a song I would name it, 'Live every day like its your best day ever', because it pretty much is.

First thing I did when I found out I made it into the top 13 is I tried not to faint and you know, I took it all in and I really looked at the crowd and said a big 'thank you'.

My parents have been with me every step of the way.

I'm going for something very raw and organic.

I'd rather have people really be able to step back and get their money's worth and look at me as a true artist than somebody who is just regurgitating other material.

I definitely I prefer to sing in the car. I don't sing in the shower, maybe its because that's the one time I don't need to talk to anyone so I should just shut up, otherwise I'm just, you know, jibber jabber.

The kind of audience I'm speaking to is a very wide range of people.
