I'm very inspired by past music.
It gets better. It seems hard, you know, I think being different is always gonna be a tough climb. There's always gonna be people that are scared of it. But at the end of the day you give those bullies, those people, that are so ignorant, if you give them the power to affect you, you're letting them win. And they don't deserve that. What you're doing by being yourself is you're keeping it real, and you're being really brave.
I'm inspired by history, different periods.
Los Angeles can be a really sad city.
I think the difficult thing is the transition between TV competition series and going into the actual music industry. There still seems to be a slight disconnect there.
'Come out' is so funny to me because I've never been in.
Right now, I'm not really thinking about marriage.
I listen to crazy, robust rock music where they sing their faces off, and soul music, which can be similar.
I'm so happy to be in a committed relationship.
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've sung other people's music all my life.
Pop is a little bit theatrical. That's the whole vibe. That's the point - is that it's great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it's a presentation. There's a showmanship about it. And that's why I wanted to be a pop star.
Conforming is not cool.
In middle school, I really didn't have music, but in high school, I remember taking a lot of choir and drama.
I was a big fan of Middle Eastern elements of music and experimental electronic and tribal sounds.
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.
My dad is a Deadhead, my mom's a Jewish-American princess from Jersey.
I think Lady Gaga is great and is changing pop music and bringing back a certain rock 'n' roll spirit, swagger to the game.
I have crushes on women all the time. I don't have intimate relationships with them, but I find women beautiful.
It's been a transformative period and I really wanted to make music from what I've experienced.
