I love being in Malibu. It's so cool there, and the water is just, it's nice and, and I love the beach. And I found a sand dollar there.

I say three prayers every night to make sure that God knows I thank him so much.

I look up to Andrea Boccelli and Sarah Brightman. The best part about 'America's Got Talent' was performing with her!

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

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.

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.

I'm not really a fan of people who think they're better than others. There's no reason to act that way. I couldn't even stand to yell at someone if they bumped right into me.
