Country music is me, it's what I've grown up with, and it's what I do.

I don't speak Spanish. I've done Spanish 1 and 2 classes. My grandma asked me when I was young if I wanted to learn Spanish, and I guess I was young. I should have, because it would have helped me a lot.

I'm a pretty low-key North Carolina boy. I like to go fishing and hang out with my friends.

When you're out there talking about your faith and what you believe in, you'll face some backlash. But mostly, I've received support.

My favorite type of music to sing is country, and my favorite type of music to listen to is country.

Just the title of 'American Idol' is something that people can look up to. I'm not Saint Scott, I'm not Mr. Perfect, but I want to be that role model.

The road is a fun place, and it's a great place to get out there and explore the country. But as far as the road life with the 'rock n' roll temptations,' there's not much of that with me.
