I love being on camera. And I love knowing what's going on in the world. Diane Sawyer is my favorite. She never seems to lower herself to get the job done. She just always carries herself well. I really admire her.
I love being around my friends and my family and spending time with my husband. I like being normal and recharging my batteries, and I feel like I have the coolest job in the world where I get to get on stage and perform and get to do a lot of really amazing things.
My mom had a job, and she also took care of us, and she also took care of Dad - I always saw her pulling triple duty, doing more than I ever felt like she needed to. I made a promise to myself that it would be more of a team effort in my family someday. And because of that, I became more independent.
If I can convince others that there is a God and that they need to know Him, then I have done my job.
It's such a sacred place. So many people have played there.
Everybody seems to have their arms wide open to me, so that's been great.
I'm not preaching. It's just a beautiful song I figured a lot of people could relate to whether they believe in God or not. Everybody has had a time in their life when they needed help with something.
As a proud Oklahoman, I'm honored to receive this recognition from my home state and hometown community,
I can't have a dog or cat on tour because of allergic Idols, but when this is over, I'm having an animal in my arms.
It's especially going to be great to get out there and perform in front of big crowds without having to worry about the competition aspect of it.
It's a very happy thing that we're doing to help people.
It's been absolutely fabulous. I've totally gotten to do everything I ever wanted and then some, and I'm just trying to stay there as long as I can.
It's been pretty crazy. I've been in L.A. or New York or Nashville or all over the place. I got to go home for about a total of a week.
It is so thrilling to be able to get back out and perform for the fans again. We put a band together last year to launch the album with radio and television promotion. We are all itching to get on a bus and really travel across the states and see the real America.
