Gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and break away. I won't forget the place I came from.

The question I love to get asked is: 'What's the hardest part of your job?' And literally, the answer is probably real sad, but it's to just to be me. Like, it's really hard, because I think people, you know, have a set idea of what a pop star should be.

People like us we gotta stick together Keep your head up nothing lasts forever.

I've loved my 20s, but I would never repeat them.

If I can wake up everyday before I die and know that I don't have to serve anyone food or drinks, I will be happy!

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'm always going to live in Texas. Texas is my home - it'll be my home forever.
