I sometimes think I might be autistic because I like to know - I need to know - my beginnings and my ends. I don't have to be in control of it, but I need to know what's going on.
When the answer to all my dreams is as close as a touch away, why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say?
I am never going to sound like Johnny Mathis.
I really love live performing!
Working with children with autism has provided me with an opportunity to see the world in a different way. I see them strive to overcome obstacles and persevere, and learn to persevere myself. They are my inspiration.
I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions because I don’t think you should have to wait until December to start working on how to change yourself. I think if you’ve got a problem, you need to fix it now.
Because I'm from North Carolina, you think I'm the Andy Griffith show, or something?
I auditioned just for fun.
I'm tired and I don't know what day it is.
It's a whole team of people working 24 hours around the clock to make me look like this.
The only reason people go to bars is to get drunk and have sex. To me, bars are what hell is like.
No matter what the situation you're in, if you're raised in a loving environment, that's the most important thing.
I don't understand why people like me! It doesn't make any sense!
Perseverance. I got cut twice. I got cut in Charlotte. I didn't have to go to Atlanta to audition. I could have said, "I'm not cut out for this." But I said, "I think I'm better than that, I can go try again." So I went to Atlanta and I made it through. Then I got cut the first time around. I could have told them I didn't want to come back for the Wild Card show but I did and look how far I got.
I want everyone to vote. I want everyone to be a part of electing officials. Because when we are not a part, when we don't have a very broad voter base, then we don't have true representation.
Faith is not about a building or a lifestyle. You can minister in many ways besides attending services or being a preacher. And I think that that's what I feel most thankful for--that I have the opportunity to minister now, in my own way.
Every kiss is a kiss you can never get back.
I mean, that's kind of what this business is about in some ways. You're trying to make everybody like you. But you can't do that. You can't force everybody - anybody to like you if they're just not willing to do it.
There are stars out there who would die to have this much exposure.
I was on TV for almost sixteen weeks during American Idol. It's at the point now where it's old.
I think there is a predisposition among Christians that Hollywood is anti-Jesus or anti-Christianity. I was warned I'd have to fight to maintain the freedom to express my beliefs. It's an unfair stereotype, and so far that's been the farthest from the truth. While everyone I work with may not share my beliefs, I have been surrounded by nothing but support.

But I was going to be a teacher my entire life, so I wasn't counting on money to much.
I never want to produce anything that a family could not enjoy together. I never want to create art that would embarrass my own children later.
I know this is going to sound cheesy and like I'm trying to be Miss America, but the most important responsibility a celebrity has is to set an example and be a role model. I want to make sure that no matter how long I go through this, I don't fall into the trap of changing and modifying how I do things that aren't a positive example. I want to remain somebody that the entire family can listen to or watch.
