Zitat des Tages von Crystal Bowersox:
'American Idol' is the fast track to fame. I'm just lucky it worked out. I don't feel different. The way people react to me is different.
Everything is pre-taped these days, but I'm a believer in, 'If you can't do it live, don't do it.'
I did pretty well busking. I would play two to eight hours a day, and I could make two or three hundred an hour.
I have a lot of love and respect for Melissa Etheridge. I love Joe Cocker, Ray LaMontagne, Feist.
Writing for me is definitely a form of ventilation - a way for me to cope and deal with emotions. I think it is for any writer.
I went to a public school in Oak Harbor, Ohio, and it's a very rural community. I was an artist kid, and I just didn't fit in very well.
This sounds really cheesy and weird, but the pitbull is a sweet animal that just wants love until it's provoked - that's kind of how I've lived my life, too.
I enjoy having my privacy and not seeing my face on the cover of everything, y'know?
My music is pretty versatile; I have a lot of genres and styles. I don't think I should be pigeonholed into one thing. So we'll see where my career goes.
I don't think anyone's sexuality needs to be a public issue other than to give others the confidence to love themselves wholeheartedly and to be their true, authentic self without any shame.
I went into the 'Idol' audition with no expectations; that's just the kind of person I am. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't hurt so badly, you know? But once I made it past the first round, and the second, and third - I started to realize, 'Maybe my goals and dreams really are attainable.'
I knew from the time I was 6 or 7 that music was something I had to do.
For me, marriage is about love, not paperwork. I've never been the kid who dreamed of the big white dress, the long veil, the fancy diamond ring.
I had what you could call a chaotic childhood. My parents divorced when I was 2; I went back and forth between my mom's and dad's houses for years. But, you know, my parents tried to do the right thing. As crazy as everything was, and as much fighting and everything, there was always a feeling of support from them.
I know that, as a bisexual, sometimes people who are gay or lesbian look down upon the bisexual community as well and assume that people who are bisexual just don't know what they want or are just playing both sides of the fence, and that's not the case, either.
The only 'Idol' music I've ever purchased is Phillip Phillips.
