I like to get real pretty.
I worked at Starbucks when I was 16... It was all right.
I was really beating myself up about performances and how I looked and this and that.
I never wore full-on eyeliner in high school, but I wanted to.
I think it's up to the parents to discern what their child is watching on television.
I'm trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader.
There are female artists I can look at that I find more in common with than the male artists, because they're blending the pop, dance and theatricality... but currently there aren't a lot of guys who go there.
You know, if it weren't for these fans, I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did.
When I was in high school I was 250 pounds.
The biggest risk I've ever taken is going on American Idol and trying to be myself. I wasn't going to try too hard to conform, and I knew that it could possibly not work out.
There's a certain level of pageantry with 'Idol,' and in order to work the show, you kind of have to feed into it.
