More quotes by Clay Aiken
I auditioned just for fun.
Clay Aiken
UNICEF is working for the survival of children worldwide. What can we do to get more Americans committed to the cause?
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 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 was on TV for almost sixteen weeks during American Idol. It's at the point now where it's old.
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 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 thought about that the other day after I went to the grocery store and had to sign fifteen autographs before leaving. On one hand, it's just so flattering. On the other hand, sometimes it would be nice to get the bread and leave, you know?
Clay Aiken

Clay Aiken
The greatest glory never comes from falling, but from rising each time you fall.

Clay Aiken
I decided to study special education and fell in love with working with individuals with autism. That's what I planned to do with my life.
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
And I don't think that success can be measured by how many TV shows you're on.
Clay Aiken
I want everyone to vote. I want everyone to be a part of electing officials. Because when we are not a part, when we don't have a very broad voter base, then we don't have true representation.
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
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.
