Clay Aiken

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

“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.”

“I sometimes think I might be autistic because I like to know - I need to know - my beginnings and my ends. I don't have to be in control of it, but I need to know what's going on.”

“I am never going to sound like Johnny Mathis.”

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

“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.”
