“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 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.
I put on the Hank Williams and the Patsy Cline and the Rosemary Clooney on vinyl - I'm not trying to be some cool indie-rock person, I just love the way it sounds - and throw on a T-shirt and jeans. In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans.
The hardest thing about being in this business is just being able to be yourself. People act like there's this one set of rules to follow to be a pop star and I think, 'Well, you say I'm a pop star, so maybe that's not true.'
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.
