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.

I learned what love is from loving you.

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

I like pencil skirts because they hug me in all the right places.

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

I carry around a little journal with me, a little notebook and a pen and just write all the time. Not necessarily actually sitting down and writing lyrics, just free-form writing, whatever's going on in my mind.

I love film, but it's bringing me away from music. Singing is what I'm probably most passionate about.
