An American Idol is someone that has all the qualities that America thinks is positive, attractive and alluring.

I don't think it's by any means an end to my career.

I had to focus on some personal areas in my life with the little bit of privacy that I have.

As the mother of a grown son with a traumatic brain injury, I couldn't be more excited about the prospect of finding out how to repair even a small part of the damage that changed his life.
