I’m so happy now. I love that I’m in a relationship right now… I want a life… The past five years or so I’ve found my groove and my balance.

I’m actually not a big fan of the word hope. I think it’s a depressing word. I don’t want to hope – I want to know. Like I don’t hope there’s a God, I know there’s a God.

I still watch ‘Idol,’ and it’s still the No. 1 show, so obviously I’m not the only one who loves to sit at home and be entertained.

I’ve always been about less government.

I’m always going to live in Texas. Texas is my home – it’ll be my home forever.

I just had my 30th birthday and we went turkey shooting. It’s what I wanted to do, so we went.

If I can wake up everyday before I die and know that I don’t have to serve anyone food or drinks, I will be happy!

I have a big fear of change, or negative change, anyway. I’m basically the same person I was when I won ‘Idol,’ or when I was 10.

Everyone says I’m like the girl next door… Y’all must have really weird neighbors!

God will never give you anything you can’t handle, so don’t stress.
