Quotes from Scotty McCreery

I gotta get a truck.

Just the title of 'American Idol' is something that people can look up to. I'm not Saint Scott, I'm not Mr. Perfect, but I want to be that role model.

That's the last thing I want to do is go on up there and mess up, you know, in front of America.

I've told many people that I'm not looking to go out there and find the most beautiful girl in the world who likes me because I'm 'Mr. American Idol Scott McCreery.' If I could just find a nice hometown girl who just likes me for who I am, that's all I want.

Somebody described it to me the best as when you go in to write a song with two people that you've never met, you're pretty much going in and taking off your pants in front of strangers, so it's a really weird feeling.

I'm sure those rumors are spread, but it's just ah - we're really good friend. We've been since day one in Hollywood. In class, we've been together in school. We've gotten really close, but I don't know about the more than friends stuff.

I'm a pretty low-key North Carolina boy. I like to go fishing and hang out with my friends.

I've dealt with losing close ones before, and I've been around friends that have lost friends at a young age. I think it's important to think about – not necessarily death, but about life and think about where you're going and how you want to be remembered and the legacy you want to leave.

For me, the best vacation is just relaxing on the couch!

For me, my number one priority always has to be the music, and I'm going to work school around my music - not music around my school.

You know I used to sit there and I'd go outside and play ball and everything, but now in my free time I just kind of lay back and relax because this atmosphere is so busy and stressful, so anytime I can sleep, you'd best believe I'm sleepin'.

It's a new game now, you know, you have to bring some fresh stuff.
