David Burger conducted an interview with David Archuleta that he will publish later this weekend, and which will appear in The Salt Lake Tribune on Sunday.

Here are some tidbits he wasn’t able to include in the story, which is about David’s new memoir:

“It was not my original idea, for sure,” he said when asked where the idea for a book came from.

“At first, I was like, ‘Funny,’” he said when he was asked to write a book.

On Demi Lovato: “She is one of the most talented kids out there. She’s written more than 300 songs. She’s really friendly with kids.”

On song-writing: “I try not to be too direct. I want people to relate.”

On his mantra: “You have to have a dream, and go for it.”
