One thing I love about Josh Turner is his faith; that's why I looked up to him so much.

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.

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

I love singin' in the car, it just makes me feel good.

That's the last thing I want to do is go on up there and mess up, you know, in front of America.

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.

You gotta *be* country music - you can't just sing it.
