I think one thing you could probably say for all my albums is that they're all pretty eclectic pop. There's always a little bit of urban influence, some dance, a little bit of country, singer-songwriter, pop-rock. I like everything! On every album you can find that.

I have a big fear of change, or negative change, anyway. I'm basically the same person I was when I won 'Idol,' or when I was 10.

I don't love traveling, because I'm never home. It's hard when you have a family.

The fact that I get to do what I love and 14 years in, I'm still doing it - I don't know how anything could get better.

My mom and I are like sisters. We kind of grew up together. She always treated me as an adult. I never had curfew. She's a workaholic, like I am. We're not super family-oriented people, you know?

And more so now, since having a family - I don't seek out any other acceptance.

Since you've been gone, I can breath for the first time.
