I've been offered a few professional contracts... in the hundreds and thousands.

Maybe I'm old-school, but I always thought you honor a contract.

I have a contract but it's not a commitment in the ordinary sense. It's our ongoing conversation.

I shall fulfill my contract, no more nor less.

I've got a contract that keeps me around a few more years.

I figured, 'If I ever get offered a chance to sign a deal, I'll only do it if I got to do it how I want.' So my contract is structured in such a way that I'm really protected.

This will be my last contract. I wanted it to be a good one.

In all honesty, I'm not able to talk about contracts. It's nothing with 'American Idol' in particular, it's just things I really need to take care of in my life.

I'm hesitant anytime someone puts a contract in front of me that has two-year options.
