Just because I’m single and don’t date a lot, that doesn’t make me a lesbian.

I never said I was a 'good girl.' I'm not a bad girl. I'm just normal, and that's what I'm going to be. There's no bad girl with whips and chains that's going to come out. I think people like me because I was myself.

You should know that I lead, not follow

I'm proud of everything I achieved with 'Idol,' and away from 'Idol' also. It's just such a different show now to what it was when I was on it. I didn't even know it was a TV show until the third audition.

I don't obsess about my weight, which is probably one of the reasons why other people have such a problem with it.

I was in a very dark place for a long time. It's just so hard to have normalcy.

In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans.
