Because I'm from North Carolina, you think I'm the Andy Griffith show, or something?
Clay Aiken
If I'm signing autographs and I see one hundred people in a line I've got to remind myself, That person is one one-hundredth of my day, but to them I'm their day. You know what I mean? Unless they meet J.Lo later on.
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
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
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
But I was going to be a teacher my entire life, so I wasn't counting on money to much.
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
The greatest glory never comes from falling, but from rising each time you fall.
Clay Aiken
