"Ever since I was two years old, its like, you couldn't get the mic out of my hands."

"I think an American Idol is somebody that others look up to and are inspired by and I think people get inspired by others who chase after what they want. I think that could be me and I think people will see that through the camera. So I think that's what makes me the next American Idol."
