I think I found it difficult though to keep a straight face when we were actually working and I wasn't supposed to be laughing.

I would never discredit anyone that is working their way up on a show like "American Idol." I think they work so hard overcoming all of the obstacles to get on the show in the first place and then every week they are judged in front of all of America... I give them complete credit for getting up on stage... I think they deserve all the success that they get.

Those situations are weird. You're in a room, and I knew they already loved this guy [for the role], so you're like, "OK, this is a different dynamic."

I'd say the key to a good relationship is communication .

I like older boys, but they think, 'She's underage.' I'd love to have somebody in mind when I sing.

Nobody's ever made me feel boring but I'm pretty boring. I acknowledge that in myself.

I consider myself to be a romantic person, and I love the idea of having a soul mate.
