I found the following on a data disc of Clay Aiken articles that I saved. I wish I knew more about it. I am not sure when it was written or who wrote it. If anyone does know, please let me know. I would love to give credit where it is due.

Lol, that is so funny! Thanks for a day brightener. 🙂
That was fun! you definetly provided more than a few chuckles. I remember hearing
most of those quotes at one time or another from many of Clay’s interviews. Thank you
for finding all of this fun and interesting articles.
I loved reading these sayings, thank you CANN, Clay Aiken is funny and wise beyond his years, isn't he?
This was fun…and true… Thanks for sharing these with us. I enjoyed reading all of them.
"If you want to make God laugh, all you have to do is tell Him
your plans." I love this, but where was it said?
Katy, I believe that quote is from the song, When You Say You Love Me, from Clay’s Measure of A Man album
This definatly made my day! It was nice to go back and think about when and where each saying was said 🙂 Clay Aiken is an amazing role model and there are so many lessons to be learned from him. Thanks CANN for posting 🙂
I loved reading all those quotes. I do believe I have heard Clay say most of them. But, it was fun to read them again. Clay has always been very smart way above his years…and he is very grounded.
I don't remember seeing this list before, but I do remember why they are listed. It's a cute list.
Thank you for another day of loving Clay!!
Thanks for the fun list!
Love this!! I can remember hearing Clay Aiken say many of those things or reading about him saying them. The "too much salad can kill you" was on TRL when he and Kelly were on and were showing behind the scenes for their Independent Tour.
