“I think I probably hoped for it a little bit, but I'm not an optimist....” — Clay Aiken Quote

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.

I'd never take a job where I had to do something that I didn't want to do.

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.

I think celebrities have an obligation to the public to not just sing or act.

I'm religious. I think this is something God had planned for me.

We have a dance in bounce music called 'exercising' where you just open your legs and shake your butt a little bit from side to side.

I live out here in Malibu, where I can see the stars. So I want to get a really nice telescope so I can look at the stars a little bit more.

I don't see it as a disability. I'm just a normal person, but a bit smaller than everyone else.

When I first started playing metal, lyrically, I sort of related a little bit more to the punk and hardcore scenes, where there was a lot more veganism and straight-edge people and people taking a stance for causes that they believe in.

I'm a bit of a P. T. Barnum. I make stars out of everyone.
