Jackie Evancho

“I love being in Malibu. It's so cool there, and the water is just, it's nice and, and I love the beach. And I found a sand dollar there.”

“When I'm at home, I want to be a normal person. I don't want to hear, 'Can I have your autograph?'”

“I like 'Sponge Bob' and 'The Last Airbender.' I like shows where people get creative to do the impossible.”

“I would like to sing for the Pope. And the Queen, and at Simon Cowell's wedding.”

“I know that I'm definitely not a big big snob, and I know that at the times that I am a diva I know I'm being a diva. It's kind of annoying to know that you are. Because it's a person I do not want to be. So I'm trying my best not to become a jerk.”

“I'm just concerned that if I get older, people aren't going to enjoy me as much as when I was younger, because I had a great voice for a little girl, but I mean, my voice can't get any bigger when I'm older.”

“My parents are OK with me wearing a small heel, up to 1.5 inches high. Heels give me height when I wear such long dresses. For me, they complete the outfit.”

“It's interesting because what I do and what I sing is, to other people, pretty unique. I feel I'm creating my own path... and I'm working on growing as a performer.”

“I love Lady Gaga. She's not afraid to take risks and be herself.”

“I just sing. But I have a fun hobby: I love to do archery. I'm pretty good on target. I'm not sure about the distances - maybe only 7 or 10 feet, so far, but I've scored the bull's eye several times, but usually always hit the target.”

“I'd love to do a Broadway show, but I can't because of the style I sing.”

“Whenever I'm waiting behind the stage, it's kind of like my normal Jackie mode is me talking a lot, playing around, but superstar Jackie mode is me concentrating on making sure that this performance was going to be a great performance.”

“I write almost everything, actually. Songs, poems, stories. And stories out of every genre, too.”

“I look up to Andrea Boccelli and Sarah Brightman. The best part about 'America's Got Talent' was performing with her!”

“I like listening to Beyonce, and I like Jason Derulo. I love his new song 'Don't Wanna Go Home.'”

“Yes, my parents are strict about me having a childhood. I go ice skating and sledding, and swimming in the summer.”

“I don't think I'll ever want to do pop music. I think I'll only ever want to do classical crossover because it's something that I love, and pop just doesn't work for me.”

“I warm up with my mom and make sure I understand what the songs are about and make sure I'm using the right technique. To be honest with you, I really don't practice a lot... Usually, I say a prayer and ask the Lord to sing with me and help me and stand on the stage with me.”

“I have to clean my room and unload the dishwasher, wash the pans, and feed the dogs.”
