I'm a really emotional person so I cry for everything.

Sometimes I'll flip through a magazine and do a double take when I see myself in it, it's just crazy!

It's totally weird to see myself on a billboard!

I take all of my life lessons, which some people might call 'mistakes,' and apply them to my future so that I keep growing.

The people that go on 'American Idol' do want some recognition and fame.

I'm a huge shoe person, and I have lots of shoes.

I wear a lot of black, but not in the goth way, I just really love black. I'll never be in pink or purples.

I started singing at age five and haven't stopped since.

I never thought I would become a television host, but I never thought anybody would pay me to just talk.

I love every kind of music.

I like things in my hair - big feather pieces.

I'm a history geek and I love American history. It's so bizarre and so problematic and I love the many conundrums that it represents. You can go down so many black holes.

Going to my shows, it's like a religious experience, because you come out, you go in one person, you come out a different person.

Example teaches better than precept. It is the best modeler of the character of men and women. To set a lofty example is the richest bequest a man can leave behind him.

So I learned to hold my tongue and to turn my features into an indifferent mask so that no one could ever read my thoughts.
