eight hundred
I did pretty well busking. I would play two to eight hours a day, and I could make two or three hundred an hour.
Everything is pre-taped these days, but I'm a believer in, 'If you can't do it live, don't do it.'
fast people track worked
'American Idol' is the fast track to fame. I'm just lucky it worked out. I don't feel different. The way people react to me is different.
perspective
Acting isn't necessarily pretending. It's storytelling. It's giving someone your perspective on something.
music
The only 'Idol' music I've ever purchased is Phillip Phillips.
deal definitely form
Writing for me is definitely a form of ventilation - a way for me to cope and deal with emotions. I think it is for any writer.
business calling dad drove gig growing kinda knew parents telling
Growing up, my parents did everything they knew how to do to support me. My dad was always kinda my roadie; he drove me from gig to gig. But I got my own gigs. I was this 12-year-old kid, shuffling business cards, calling people, telling them I wanted to play.

country embraces grew hope love music
I hope that country music embraces me because I grew up on it and have a love for the music.
diamond dreamed fancy kid love marriage white
For me, marriage is about love, not paperwork. I've never been the kid who dreamed of the big white dress, the long veil, the fancy diamond ring.
high junior
I've been bisexual for as long as I can remember. I remember being made fun of in junior high for that. It was something that was shameful, and it really shouldn't be.
authentic issue love needs others public sexuality themselves
I don't think anyone's sexuality needs to be a public issue other than to give others the confidence to love themselves wholeheartedly and to be their true, authentic self without any shame.
might people picked
When you're a kid, you might be picked on for your differences. When you're an adult, employers, colleges, friends - people look for differences when you're adult, and that's what makes you shine and stand out.
