“I'm a real-life 'Hannah Montana.'”
“That was my goal going on 'AGT,' was to keep ventriloquism alive and get it more common, to put it out in the open so kids like me who wanted to pursue it as a passion... can do it.”
“What has been so great out of all of the success is that I inspired so many people to take up ventriloquism, especially little kids.”
“I don't like sweet, warm beverages. It makes me gag!”
“I had to keep up with my schoolwork so I could keep up my grades. That was tough to balance both being a superstar onstage but being a normal kid trying to get her math homework done.”
“I actually did a project with my puppet one time in fourth grade. I made up a song that went with the rhythm to a song I do now. And I had to make up a song about a penguin and research and put information in the song about a penguin. And I sang it with my duck, because I didn't have a penguin puppet, but close enough.”
“I wanted to get a puppy, but then things started getting super, super busy, and I didn't have a chance.”
“Embrace who you are. It's OK if you're shy sometimes. Just don't worry about what others think. Do your thing.”
“We had a big fan base in Oklahoma City, and that was nice to know.”
“A little before my 10th birthday, I was like, 'Can I please have a puppet, Mom and Dad?' They were like, 'No. You are a singer, not a ventriloquist. You have three brothers, and you're in gymnastics. There's no way we have time for this.'”
“I do get recognized a lot in public. And that's just kind of weird to me.”
“I actually am a country music fan. I listen to a lot of Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood and Maren Morris and Keith Urban.”
“One time, it was really funny, I was going on stage... and they were like, 'Oh, we didn't mic the puppet! Mic the puppet!' So, that's how I know that sometimes I do a very good job, because they think that the puppet is actually, like, real.”
“I love eating Chipotle.”
“It's good to get critiqued, so you can get better - and I want to do that.”
“Edna - when I first picked her up, she had a voice that really spoke to me.”
“It's so fun being on the stage and in the spotlight.”
