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 think that it doesn't matter if I travel all over the place. I'll always be a normal teenager on the inside. It always depends on how you act yourself, not what happens to you. That's my view of it all.

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

I love Lady Gaga. She's not afraid to take risks and be herself.

I like listening to Beyonce, and I like Jason Derulo. I love his new song 'Don't Wanna Go Home.'

When I go to school, I'm always happy because it's a normal kid thing.

When I'm at home, I want to be a normal person. I don't want to hear, 'Can I have your autograph?'
