People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I’m this cool, brooding artist. But I’m just having fun with it.
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 cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally.
I’m not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I’m definitely an individual.
The cool thing is that now that people have made this evolution where cooking is cool, people are doing it on weekends, they’re doing their own challenges. It’s back to cooking. And it’s real cooking.
