I like cartoons. I like 'Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.' It's funny! It has things that kids wouldn't get. It's like, if you're mature, you get it. I like that and 'The Fairly OddParents.'
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 knew people liked me on 'American Idol,' but I didn't think they'd care to come see me sing at my own show.
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 like the European carols, and I like that captivating sound that they have that isn't usually in Christmas songs.
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.
I want to make sure that I make music that lasts. I've been experimenting. I've been writing.
Being on a mission-not thinking about myself and focusing on serving other people-is what brought me closer to God than anything else.
Things never happen exactly how you think they will.
Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart.
I want to be the best parent I can be. I want to be the best husband I can be
Relationships are about helping motivate each other to be all that you can be
You have to think about how you're going to present yourself and want people, wanna show your stuff and who you are
Sometimes we need to take back and take a look at ourselves, a look at where we are
