I like to watch 'America's Got Talent' every Tuesday just to scout out the competition so I can see what I'm up against.

AGT' was so much fun because I feel like the best part was meeting all of the contestants because everyone there was never mean, never competition - except for Preacher. But I'm kidding. He would just mess around and be like, 'I'm gonna beat you.' Everybody there was just really nice, and I got to be friends with mostly everyone there.

I do get recognized a lot in public. And that's just kind of weird to me.

We filmed part of it here at the Alex Theatre in Los Angeles, and then we filmed the other part of it in Oklahoma because that's where I live. It's called 'Darci Lynne: My Hometown Christmas.' We wanted to incorporate that I celebrate Christmas just like any other kid.

I think that after divorce, I took my life a little bit more seriously, because you have to face endings in a way that you maybe never - death in one thing, but an ending in your own chapter. It's so clearly placed there for you with divorce.

Sometimes I only succeed in beating myself to death.

A surgeon is surrounded by people who are sick, discouraged, afraid, embittered, dying - but also courageous, loving, wise, compassionate and alive.

It's maddening in my travels to watch children dying simply because they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time.
