**Clay 'N Company is comprised of fans and supporters who believe in and support Clay Aiken's endeavors, life goals and his dreams. What those endeavors, goals and dreams are, are best taken from quoting Clay directly:

 

 

 

 

 

"It's important that I make a difference in some way, If it's performing and touching someone that way, that's great; if it's being a teacher and helping some kid understand something, that's even better...it's not necessarily how I make a difference, but I want to make sure that I do." - Clay Aiken

 

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

 

"Not everybody gets a mike this big. I feel I should use it in as positive a way as I can."

 

"Education is essential to a child's development. I hope that as an Ambassador I can encourage people to join UNICEF's mission to make education a reality for children throughout the world."

 

Kids without disabilities learn a lot from kids with disabilities. There are so many things that are so much bigger than what to wear that day. I don't feel sorry for children with disabilities. I feel excited for them for the opportunities that they do have."

 

Clay's Ideal On Being  A Role Model: "You can be a good one or a bad one. I got to this point and it's a high profile job, and on top of that there are the rigors and pressures of being in the public eye all the time. And my absolute priority, more than having a good song, is to set a good example. I accept it as a responsibility."

 

"American celebrities have an amazing amount of influence on the way America thinks, feels and acts. I think that such an influence should be used in the most positive way possible."

 

Regarding Who/What Celebrity Is: "Someone with a talent that leaves a mark on American society and inspires people to think, feel, love, act."

 

"It's not the money. It's not the fame. It's the influence."

 

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

 

"What comes out of this is what God wants to happen."
