Adam lambert quotes

I think the British audience might be more open-minded with some of my imagery and weird choices.

People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I'm selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff... Chill out! And just enjoy yourself.

Nowadays in pop, there's not a lot of men that are singing big and loud and high - it's not as common as it once was.

I have crushes on women all the time.

There's a certain level of pageantry with 'Idol,' and in order to work the show, you kind of have to feed into it.

When I was kid, I remember playing 'Vogue' by Madonna over and over and over again. And ah, you know, something about the beat was really cool, and Madonna, visually, was on TV all the time and I thought she was just so beautiful.

There's a certain amount of mind control that happens. Everybody is living in a world where they're being controlled. They're being told what to think, what to do, and what to eat.

A lot of my male vocal influences are British - people like David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.

Los Angeles can be a really sad city.

I think the difficult thing is the transition between TV competition series and going into the actual music industry. There still seems to be a slight disconnect there.

I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay.

If sexy scares you, don't listen to my music.

Conforming is not cool. Embracing who you are and what makes you different is actually what’s really cool.

The kids that are different and out there and expressive and are bold with those choices, those are the people that grow up to be people we all want to hang out with, that become celebrities or become really successful in what they do because they believe in who they are.

I'm a freak in the fondest way possible.

I had a lot of fun with my costume designer.

I'm proud of my sexuality.

It's late at night and I can't sleep. Missing you just runs too deep. Oh I can't breathe, thinking of your smile. Every kiss I can't forget, this aching heart ain't broken yet. Oh God I wish I could make you see Cause I know this flame isn't dying So nothing can stop me from trying Baby you know that Maybe it's time for miracles Cause I ain't giving up on love You know that maybe it's time for miracles Cause I ain't giving up on love No I ain't giving up on us

Wait a minute, I'm a fan of yours; you can't be a fan of mine!

Coming up with something new and original is so exciting.

'Come out' is so funny to me because I've never been in.

Pop is a little bit theatrical. That's the whole vibe. That's the point - is that it's great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it's a presentation. There's a showmanship about it. And that's why I wanted to be a pop star.

I think the responsibility of pop stars is to liberate the masses. In that everyone can be whatever they wanna be. You can march to your own beat. It's so hard sometimes in our country because conformity is the way things are pushed.

I think Lady Gaga is great and is changing pop music and bringing back a certain rock 'n' roll spirit, swagger to the game.

We don't have a lot of men on stage doing flamboyant or theatrical. We have a lot of female pop stars doing it, but where are the guys? Where's the classic pop-rock showman?

I definitely have my opinions that I'm very vocal about and I'm not afraid to put them out there.

I get why certain actors want to stay in the closet.

My mother was always supportive.

Carving out an identity for yourself is important so I'm trying to do that as well.

I breeze through Twitter - I look at the mentions, the pictures, the videos.

No escaping when I start, once I'm in I own your heart

I don't like to look typical.

Being who you are is a lot easier than faking it.

So pretty much, to sum it up, if you can freak someone out and bring that kind of emotion out of somebody with a song, you're doing something right.

All these songs honestly explore the ups and downs of my reality.

In middle school, I really didn't have music, but in high school, I remember taking a lot of choir and drama.

If My New Album Isn't Out in 2014, Something is Seriously Wrong!

The biggest risk I've ever taken is going on American Idol and trying to be myself. I wasn't going to try too hard to conform, and I knew that it could possibly not work out.

I want to upset people, I want to make people think, I want to keep people interested.

When I was in high school I was 250 pounds.

I'm so happy to be in a committed relationship.

I just talk a lot, that's the problem.

I'm proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It's just another part of me.

At least I can say that I'm honest.

Life is all about taking risk to get what you want.

Fame is a very strange animal.

I listen to crazy, robust rock music where they sing their faces off, and soul music, which can be similar.

I wanted the focus to be on my ability as a singer and as an entertainer - not on my private life.

I like adding little elements into the final mix. I'm more fond of the '70s glam than '80s. I have that style of vocals... there are a lot of pop artists who are using the glam vibe in their music. I'm part of that wave.

I have crushes on women all the time. I don't have intimate relationships with them, but I find women beautiful.

I'm trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader.

I'm very inspired by past music.

There are female artists I can look at that I find more in common with than the male artists, because they're blending the pop, dance and theatricality... but currently there aren't a lot of guys who go there.

Female performers have been doing this for years - pushing the envelope about sexuality - and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out.

I'm not scared at all... Of the cracks in the crystal ball.

Be who you want to be - be free in your own skin, be liberated and feel beautiful, and do what you want to do without judgement

Bowie's been a huge influence on me. I remember early on, my dad pulling out the 'Diamond Dogs' album, and the cover alone just grabbed my attention. I think I was probably around 12.

The best way to be loved, is to love yourself.

It gets better. It seems hard, you know, I think being different is always gonna be a tough climb. There's always gonna be people that are scared of it. But at the end of the day you give those bullies, those people, that are so ignorant, if you give them the power to affect you, you're letting them win. And they don't deserve that. What you're doing by being yourself is you're keeping it real, and you're being really brave.

I wanted to look different because I felt different

Love overcomes hate. Love has no color. Love has no orientation. All is love.

Yeah, I think speculation keeps things really interesting.

I knew that it was my only shot to be taken seriously in the recording industry, because it's fast and broad.

The only lifestyle I'm promoting is the lifestyle of love and friendship. The lifestyle of music, and joy, and fashion. So whoever wants to come and get part of that lifestyle, we accept anybody.

There's no regrets for me.

You are so much more, than your orientation, you know it and I know it.
