"America’s Got Talent" winner Richard Goodall never stopped believing in himself.

The singing janitor told Fox News Digital he was able to check off a major "bucket list" item, since the band Journey joined him for his final performance.

"There's bucket list and then there's bucket list on top of the shelf that you never dreamed were there," Goodall shared in disbelief. "I got to touch the top shelf bucket list."
Goodall continued to say he was truly honored to be crowned the winner, as he recently had several memorable life events happen to him – which included getting married and taking home the million-dollar cash prize.
"Sky’s the limit. I didn't have any expectations coming into the auditions and the same thing to the finals. I just give it all and leave it all on the stage."
While he shared that his wife is an "absolute amazing woman" and his biggest supporter, Goodall dished on what his plans are for the future.
