More quotes by Clay Aiken
I'm not different. I'm not different at all. The wrapping is different but the gift is still the same.
Clay Aiken
I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up, but I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here.
Clay Aiken
And I don't think that success can be measured by how many TV shows you're on.
Clay Aiken
It doesn't really matter to me how I make a difference, I just wanna make sure that I do.
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 think I probably hoped for it a little bit, but I'm not an optimist. I'm a realist... or maybe even a pessimist.
Clay Aiken
I went to school for special education. I always assumed when I had the opportunity I would love to try and help kids with disabilities.
Clay Aiken
But I was going to be a teacher my entire life, so I wasn't counting on money to much.
Clay Aiken
It's important that I make a difference in some way. It's not necessarily how I make a difference, but I want to make sure that I do.
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.
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
I did get a degree in special education.
Clay Aiken
I got rid of my glasses and they changed my hair. That's really all they did. They went shopping for me, so the clothes are different too. It wasn't like Extreme Makeover where I got a nose job or anything.
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
I mean, that's kind of what this business is about in some ways. You're trying to make everybody like you. But you can't do that. You can't force everybody - anybody to like you if they're just not willing to do it.
Clay Aiken
I kind of had my life planned out for me. I'd be married at some point, have, you know, 1.5 children, and be a principal possibly one day. But I think that that was kind of my problem. I allowed myself to plan out my life and didn't let provident direction guide my life.
Clay Aiken
I was on TV for almost sixteen weeks during American Idol. It's at the point now where it's old.
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
If other people choose to believe because I do, great. I want to show people God's love through what I do and who I am. At the same time, I don't feel I need to pass out Bibles at the concert.
Clay Aiken
Well, fortunately we found out that the runner-up our particular year was going to get a record contract also. So it was kind of a - it was bitter sweet but it was an opportunity.
