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.

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

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.

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.

The minute I get a big head and start acting like the big man on campus, it's all downhill from there.

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.

What makes me unique is that, I'm normal.
