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.
If not music, I think it would be pretty cool to be an ear, nose and throat doctor.
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.
The worst part of fame is not always knowing what I’m doing the next day
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
I think it's really important to treat yourself with respect because sometimes people can get down on themselves
Only recently I’ve learned, it’s an obvious thing, but it just took me a while to realize
I think the best way people can connect to you is by being real
It's fun just spending time with everyone. It's something that's so simple, yet so valuable to me
