The worst part of fame is not always knowing what I’m doing the next day
I hope to always be myself, except more mature and knowing more.
I've never had a celebrity crush! I don't believe in those, really. I feel like you have to get to know the person before you start to feel anything like that. People always think they know celebrities, but how can you when you've never met them?
Especially now, with 'Glee,' it's allowed a lot of kids to love music and performing at a young age. All ages watched 'American Idol,' but I think it was nice to be able to show kids, 'Hey, you can be here, too.'
What I've learned is that music affects the way you feel. A song can change someone's life.
It's the boring things that mean a lot to me. I enjoy taking my sisters to eat. Or sitting watching TV with my family.
I want to figure out what kind of artist I want to be, because with the 'American Idol' process, it just works really fast. The night of the finale, they said, 'OK, here are all the label people that you're gonna work with, this is the album you're gonna make and blah, blah, blah.' So it was a pretty fast process, but it's been cool.
What I find is really interesting is the Ear-Nose-Throat doctor thing, which I know would take a lot of work and education, but it's something that really interests me, because it's something that helps people who've had the same problems as me, with the whole hearing and nose congestion and problems with your voice.
Without the darkness, we can't really appreciate the light
Sometimes we need to take back and take a look at ourselves, a look at where we are
No one can understand what’s the best thing for you to do, other than yourself.
Friends are the ones who will always have your back and their perspective on you doesn't change no matter what
Remember to be yourself and remember throughout everything why you first wanted to do this.
More than fans, they felt like a team of morale-boosters who would always be around to remind me of my own worth
