Fame Is A Very Strange Animal.

I Was Really Beating Myself Up About Performances And How I Looked And This And That.

When I Was Kid, I Remember Playing 'vogue' By Madonna Over And Over And Over Again. And Ah, You Know, Something About The Beat Was Really Cool, And Madonna, Visually, Was On Tv All The Time And I Thought She Was Just So Beautiful.

The Biggest Risk I've Ever Taken Is Going On American Idol And Trying To Be Myself. I Wasn't Going To Try Too Hard To Conform, And I Knew That It Could Possibly Not Work Out.

I Never Wore Full-on Eyeliner In High School, But I Wanted To.

So Pretty Much, To Sum It Up, If You Can Freak Someone Out And Bring That Kind Of Emotion Out Of Somebody With A Song, You're Doing Something Right.
