That's really all I want, to be able to change the world with my voice.

I don't think I'll ever want to do pop music. I think I'll only ever want to do classical crossover because it's something that I love, and pop just doesn't work for me.

My advice would be to follow your dream. Most of my life, I was in second place before I came in first place. I hope that inspired people to never give up.

Acting and singing are actually very similar because they're both telling a story.

Yes, my parents are strict about me having a childhood. I go ice skating and sledding, and swimming in the summer.

The music kind of possesses me when I sing. So whenever I start to sing on a show - I mean, first, I'm nervous, and then when I get into it, it's just like I feel like I'm the person who sang the song first.

I would like to sing for the Pope. And the Queen, and at Simon Cowell's wedding.
