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

For me, my number one priority always has to be the music, and I'm going to work school around my music - not music around my school.

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.

I want to do music the rest of my life.

I was watching the show last year and it didn't even cross my mind that this could even happen.

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.
