I'm really not that special. Really, I'm not. I was on a big TV show, but it was just a TV show.
Clay Aiken
I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that.

Clay Aiken
A song is like a smile. If you meet people from another country, even if you don't speak the same language, you know what a smile means. A song works the same way. Music produces feelings that need no translation.
Clay Aiken
You know, I think I'm a stronger person for realizing that you can't make everybody love you.
Clay Aiken
I know this is going to sound cheesy and like I'm trying to be Miss America, but the most important responsibility a celebrity has is to set an example and be a role model.
Clay Aiken

Clay Aiken
When I was a kid, the punishment I disliked the most was writing sentences. My mother loved to make me record my transgressions--always a minimum of five hundred times--and she even bought special spiral notebooks for me to fill up.... No matter how many notebooks I went through, there was always another one waiting in the kitchen drawer.
Clay Aiken
I appreciate the idea of allowing people to have their own private walk with God. To me, God is about love, not condemnation.
Clay Aiken
I liked being able to work with all the different producers and take what they brought to the table and bring my own style to it.
