When I was on 'Idol' and 17, everything was so new. Everyone is so nice and wants to see you succeed.

I love berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, anything with an 'errie' in it!

My heroes are just everyday people who work hard, are honest and have integrity.

Take one step at a time, there's no need to rush

Right now, I feel like I can take on the world. Ambition is the perfect word for where I am in my life right now.

I like to wear sleeves because they cover up my arms.

I know what I want to look like. I don't want to look trashy. I want mothers to be able to look at me and not have to close their kids' eyes!

If I don't laugh at least 20 times a day - it hasn't been a good day.

I've grown up a lot, I've experienced a lot, I'm in love, I'm super happy with who I am and comfortable in my own skin and that's definitely gonna be portrayed in the music and in the lyrics.

I like what I see in the mirror. I liked what I saw in the mirror before. It just didn't work in a bikini. And now it does. So I'm excited!

I love food and I love my curves.

Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom.

I know what the attitudes of the readers are: These are guys who love women and respect women.

I would be jokesmithing. I had files with tons of disses that I would try to write as I was on the train going to school.

A mathematician will recognise Cauchy, Gauss, Jacobi or Helmholtz after reading a few pages, just as musicians recognise, from the first few bars, Mozart, Beethoven or Schubert.

We are one another’s angels.

Everything has two sides - the outside that is ridiculous, and the inside that is solemn.

Conformity is the only real fashion crime

Managers watch over our numbers, our time and our results. Leaders watch over us.

I try to find meaning anywhere I can. It's the only way I know how to validate my existence.

I don't recognize my former self. Like I'm on the outside looking in at my life. Who is that guy?
