"I love all genres of music. I think it helps you become a better performer if you know the different..." — Diana DeGarmo

I grew up listening to Dolly Parton and just loving her music.

I always knew I wanted to be involved in entertainment in some way. But I really can't say I'd be where I am now if I hadn't been on 'American Idol.'

I want to be a country singer more than anything in the world.

I really truly believe I found my identity with country music.
