different stills wrapping
I'm not different. I'm not different at all. The wrapping is different but the gift is still the same.
differences important making-a-difference
It's important that I make a difference in some way. It's not necessarily how I make a difference, but I want to make sure that I do.
influence fame
It's not the money. It's not the fame. It's the influence.
perseverance cutting thinking
Perseverance. I got cut twice. I got cut in Charlotte. I didn't have to go to Atlanta to audition. I could have said, "I'm not cut out for this." But I said, "I think I'm better than that, I can go try again." So I went to Atlanta and I made it through. Then I got cut the first time around. I could have told them I didn't want to come back for the Wild Card show but I did and look how far I got.
tired im-tired knows
I'm tired and I don't know what day it is.
nice hands leaving
I thought about that the other day after I went to the grocery store and had to sign fifteen autographs before leaving. On one hand, it's just so flattering. On the other hand, sometimes it would be nice to get the bread and leave, you know?
new-year thinking should-have
I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions because I don’t think you should have to wait until December to start working on how to change yourself. I think if you’ve got a problem, you need to fix it now.
friendship dream trying
When the answer to all my dreams is as close as a touch away, why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say?
sound
I am never going to sound like Johnny Mathis.
performing
I really love live performing!
christian jesus fighting
I think there is a predisposition among Christians that Hollywood is anti-Jesus or anti-Christianity. I was warned I'd have to fight to maintain the freedom to express my beliefs. It's an unfair stereotype, and so far that's been the farthest from the truth. While everyone I work with may not share my beliefs, I have been surrounded by nothing but support.
home lasts ride whether year
Whether this ride lasts for one year or 10 years, I want to have a home base.
anybody god love people
I don't really feel like I have anybody to answer to but myself and God and the people I love.
bad fail felt high level power rarely respect room spanish talked teacher teachers trouble
I had a Spanish teacher in high school. I rarely got in trouble in her room because I felt I was disappointing her if I got a bad grade. That had more power over me than teachers who told me I talked too much. That level of respect I had for her made me not want to fail for her.
