- "I'm petite but I was the biggest girl on my season. Everyone else weighed 100 pounds. Reporters would ask, 'So what's it like being a big girl?' and I thought, 'Big? What?' It was like, 'Wait, what am I doing wrong?' Luckily, I had a great mom and dad who helped me grow up feeling comfortable in my own skin. I have a curvy figure, which guys like. And performing isn't about looking the best or being the most beautiful. I do it because I love it. Look, nobody else has my butt. Nobody has my eyes. Nobody has my nose. It's all mine. And that's what makes me different from everyone."
- On boys: "You need to establish yourself before you let someone else in - I'm still finding myself".
- My winning is getting to perform. That`s my victory.
- Like every other girl in the world, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!
- 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`m cute - and God I hate that. Because that`s not cool. I`m like your niece, and nobody wants to date their niece. It`s the chubby cheeks. The whole reason people voted for me on American Idol is because I`m an everyday, normal girl.
- I`m a hygiene freak. I`m like obsessive-compulsive when it comes to washing your hands.
- I never said I was a `good girl.` I`m not a bad girl. I`m just normal, and that`s what I`m going to be. There`s no bad girl with whips and chains that`s going to come out. I think people like me because I was myself.
- God will never give you anything you can`t handle, so don`t stress.
- Everyone says I`m like the girl next door... Y`all must have really weird neighbors!
