"The only 'Idol' music I've ever purchased is Phillip Phillips." — 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.

It's not a natural process, 'American Idol,' but it does great things for the people that are on that show. If you don't walk away from it with some kind of positive outlook or find an opportunity to come from it, then I feel like that's a choice.

I really - I try not to look ahead too far into the future and really just appreciate the here and now.

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.
