I remember Steven Tyler coming up to me once. He was like, 'Oh my god, you have a God given talent,' and I freaked out. He's so sweet.

I know when to have fun, but when it comes to my music, I'm really serious about my career.

During 'Idol,' I wasn't expecting anything. I just wanted to survive the competition, but my album and my music are a big part of who I am. Hopefully it translates well and I keep growing as an artist.

I'm playing a powerhouse singer who is big competition, but she's also really down to earth and sweet. But the whole sweet thing goes away when she's in competition mode. I love the show, so I'm very excited to be a part of it. I'm going to kill it on 'Glee!'

I may have played romantic roles, but each character has been different, with his own personality.

I have done everything in my life very normally. And marriage is definitely there on my agendas in life. But I don't know when will it happen.

Absolutely, I'm living my dream. Yeah. My wife always jokes, says I'm a big kid, you know, playing in the studio and coming up with melodies and sounds. And, you know, I wouldn't know any other way because I just have music in my head all the time, and I just love it.

If you are talented, you can really do anything. And if your heart is at the right place and you have the passion for it, you can go for it and do it.
