If you close your eyes to see the view, you miss everything surrounding you
Tell me why you're so hard to forget. Don't remind me, I'm not over it. Tell me why, I can't seem to face the truth, I'm just a little too not over you.
I made up my mind not to care so much about the destination, and simply enjoy the journey.
Sometimes when you least expect it, the tables turn and that scary feeling that has taken hold of you for so long somehow turns into hope
...I started to realize how many great things could happen by confronting the things that scare you most.
I like to believe that you don't need to reach a certain goal to be happy. I prefer to think that happiness is always there, and that when things don't go the way we might like them to, it's a sign from above that something even better is right around the corner.
Without inspiration, we’re all like a box of matches that will never be lit.
Being on a mission-not thinking about myself and focusing on serving other people-is what brought me closer to God than anything else.
There's a lot of really talented people in Utah, people who would really make an effort to make the music the best that it could be and as emotional as it could be.
All my mom's side speaks Spanish. I speak to my grandparents in Spanish. Slowly. And they're patient with me! But I do speak with them in Spanish and carry on conversations with them.
Despite whatever commercial kind of success you might have or radio success, I don't want to do something just to get as many people as possible to listen.
My mom is just someone who's easy to talk to and hang with. My sister, it's always cool to be able to help her out with things. My brother is fun when we're just joking and messing around. And my dad is someone who's helpful with my music and easy to talk to about that stuff because he understands me in that sense.
I really wanna do a Spanish album. I have that Latin culture background. It's a part of me. I'm not the best Spanish speaker, but I have a longing to connect with that. I just think how supportive the Latin community has been, even during 'Idol.' I'd like to give back with something like that.
I really like the European carols, and I like that captivating sound that they have that isn't usually in Christmas songs.
