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

Well, financially it's a little bit better. But it's better than than when I was a teacher. But I kind of - it's allowed me to buy a house. And I've been able to help my mother with some stuff and my brother. So, that's nice.
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 auditioned just for fun.
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
