I love the sounds of Latin jazz, R&B, hip-hop, alternative, all that stuff. I'm a radio kid.

My gut and intuition told me it wasn't time to do this.

In all honesty, I'm not able to talk about contracts. It's nothing with 'American Idol' in particular, it's just things I really need to take care of in my life.

Everything is falling into place.

An American Idol is someone that has all the qualities that America thinks is positive, attractive and alluring.

It is a reality show... this show is never without drama.

It was an amazing experience to work with Michael Jackson, who is a legend.

It's surreal to know my dreams are coming true.

I'd like to know how to play the guitar.

I can dance, act, beatbox and whistle very well.

I'm excited and blessed.

It is almost impossible to not triumph to bigger and better things, if you aren't afraid to make mistakes, learn from them, and try again with a better approach.

I find the more I drink the more interesting others become.

I've learned from every director I've worked with. Everybody's style is very different, and I always say that being an actor is the best film school that I could ever go to.

I never thought I was funny. I don't THINK funny.

Wherever you go, in every country, on every continent, people yearn and hunger for one thing: to love and be loved.

The desire that guides me in all I do is the desire to harness the forces of nature to the service of mankind.
