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

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

I'm not going to choose between classical, Broadway or pop. I would love to stay where I am now - a mix of everything.

I know that I'm definitely not a big big snob, and I know that at the times that I am a diva I know I'm being a diva. It's kind of annoying to know that you are. Because it's a person I do not want to be. So I'm trying my best not to become a jerk.

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

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.
