Simon is cool. You know, it's different if you ever see him around his mom. He acts totally different.
I feel as if I've been able to do so many things I never expected to do.
I never knew that the things I wanted to do would come this fast, but this is the route that God took me, and so I'm excited.
We became somewhat household names really quickly, within a matter of - what? - three, four months. So it's hard to get used to, and it's really sometimes hard to understand.
People just take your kindness for weakness sometimes, and that's just the bottom line.
I'm racing against me. As long as I come across the finish, I'll be okay.
I've been blessed because there are a lot of great singers out there that didn't make it past their first album.
I'm always happy for people when I see God blessing them the way he's blessed me.
If you eat good, you feel good. I would encourage every body else to do the same.
I feel like I have been totally blessed with everything that I have done.
So I've never in my whole life really been teased about my weight.
I don't have any concerns about my weight. I've always been healthy. I eat right. I'm just a big dude. I've always been happy with the person I am. So that will never change.
I feel like my unwillingness to look for healthy options now is the reason why I have put my weight back on. … Everybody knows how to diet, everybody has had their shares of ups and downs of yo-yo diets, but the hardest thing is to learn really how to make this a lifestyle that you can sustain for the rest of your life.
