I'm a hygiene freak. I'm like obsessive-compulsive when it comes to washing your hands.

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've got a song on One Direction's album called 'Tell Me A Lie'. It's a really cute song - I love it. I loved that they liked it. They sound really great on it. I already have it - I'm so VIP with my copy on my computer! It does sound really good.

Books have always been important to me - my mom was a first grade teacher, so I grew up reading all the time.

God will never give you anything you can't handle, so don't stress.

My kids are obviously growing up very privileged, but I want them to have a servant's heart. We do community service as a family, and I also call them out on things like getting impatient when they stand in line - because they hardly ever have to. But that's just the reality of what they were born into.

I love my body. I'm very much OK with it. I don't think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people.
