I want to thank everybody, all my fans in Israel, all the children, everybody, it's amazing.

I won’t even pretend I didn’t care. I wanted to win. I mean, if you don’t care about winning the competition, why show up?

I liked this girl in my sixth grade class. I dared her to kiss me -- but she didn't!

There's more people that like me than there are who hate me, so I kind of brush it off.

I grew up below the poverty line; I didn't have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person, it built my character. Now I have a 4.0 grade point average and I want to go to college, and just become a better person.

you know...uh I'm a singer... pop singer... i'm white

If you start taking yourself more seriously than you do God then there's a problem.
