I felt like I got more comfortable on 'Idol' when I just started being myself and not trying to be what I thought I had to be.

When I look at myself, I'd like not to have hair on the top of the ceiling.

When I started playing music, I was more of a character. Now I'm just me with a cool outfit on. I'm more comfortable being myself.

Yeah... I was a singer as a kid. I had a lot of stage fright, and what's happened with 'Idol,' it has got me past so much of that.

I like being by myself.

I didn't start to work until I realized what it was I had to offer. I stopped imitating performers I admired and started just being myself.
