Adam Lambert talking about:

Sexuality

I’m gay.
Come out’ is so funny to me because I’ve never been in. I’ve always been out. I just chose to avoid it. I didn’t … I don’t feel closeted. Everybody that I worked with knew about my personal life.(…)
I wanted the focus to be on my ability as a singer and as an entertainer – not on my private life. So I chose to kind of ignore the issue until after the voting ended. (…)
I don’t think it’s going to limit anything. I can see how certain people might get turned off by it. And if they do, it’s their loss, you know?

Women

I have crushes on women all the time. I don’t have intimate relationships with them, but I find women beautiful. … I think femininity is a beautiful, beautiful thing. And to be the object of desire to a woman is a great compliment.

Bi-Sexuality?

I’ve been kind of toying around with the bi thing in my head. I wouldn’t ever give myself the label ‘bisexual,’ but bi-curious? Yeah. I’ve been known to make out with girls from time to time. Couple drinks involved, you know. It’s fun. And who knows? Maybe it’ll go further someday. I don’t know.

Adam about revealing to family he was gay

It was very subtle. … That was the cool thing, is that without actually saying it, I was myself. I always felt support. And I was always able to be creative at home. And there was no taboo.

Mother – Leila Lambert about 1st time they talked about Adam being gay

I think we stayed up until about 3:00 in the morning and laughed and talked. I didn’t want to pressure him. I knew for a long time and I just assumed. … I knew this is who he is, who he was, and. … I felt comfortable with it.

Love

I’ve had my heart broken. I’ve chased after people and had it not work out. Throughout my entire 20s, I’ve wanted to be in love. That’s what I want. I think everybody deserves that. And I’ve only been in love once. So I’m still looking.

Strategy on American Idol 8

I just wanted to stand apart from everybody else. I always have to be different. I wanted to pick songs that I believed in. That was part of my strategy. … If all the other contestants were singing up-tempo songs that week, I would pick a ballad. If they were all singing ballads, I would pick an up-tempo.

The result of American Idol 8

I think being a sore loser just sucks. I think that’s tacky. We’re two very different types of artists, and I don’t see how people can say one is better. I love listening to Kris sing and watch him play. And I think that he enjoys watching me do my thing.

Kris Allen

He’s a good-looking guy. I think that a lot of people out there who watch the show can agree with me.

Releasing the album to RCA Records:

It’s surreal. It’s really, like, everything that I ever wanted is happening and … I don’t know how to react. I’m thankful. I am proud.

Music, performing

Every time I am tempted to complain about it, or I start getting a little bit like, ‘Ugh,’ I just rewind about a year and a half ago when I was … sitting on my a** and not satisfied. I get to be that rock star that every kid fantasizes about being. I get to sing and entertain and make people happy and … hopefully forget about some of their problems, or make them feel better about some of their problems -just take them for a ride. That’s the coolest job in the world.

American Idol producers:

They were 100 percent supportive the entire time. They asked me, ‘What do you want to do? Would you like to talk about it? No? Fine.’ They respected it either way. They respected my choice.
