Out&About Newspaper has made ‘O&AN Exclusive: 1-on-1′ interview with Adam Lambert after his concert in Memphis, published on the 31th of July by Kirstine Keiper.
Due to the heavy traffic of the readers of this particular interview, the site has been down for couple of hours yesterday…

Journalist’s first impression of Adam:

You can’t help but notice him as he chats up the different press outlets at the Memphis FedEx Forum. Even here, Lambert stands out from the rest of the pack. The runner-up on Season 9 (??) of American Idol is kind, gracious, honest, attractive, gay – someone you’d want to befriend.

And some of Adam’s quotes from this interview:

Advice for the dreamers

Hmmm, I like that question. I think it’s hard because being a dreamer isn’t always the easiest thing in the world because we have to exist in a space that is not reality.
We have to exist in that ‘what if’ or ‘imagination’ world, and I think that with all the pressures of everyday life, you can constantly be thrown out of that, and it’s almost a fight to stay in that ‘dreamer’ space. My advice would be to try to find a new angle, a new perspective on something, and that’s in my opinion, the best way to take your dreams and make them come true.
Find a way to be new and fresh with your ideas, and just to keep dreaming. Find your safe space that is conducive to that. Find a way to tap into that part of yourself and not be thrown out of that dreamer space. Stay on the cloud!

Being himself

Well, I’ve been on stage since I was like 10 years old, so that’s helped me a lot. It’s a pretty comfortable place for me. Sometimes – it sounds a little cliché – but sometimes being on stage is almost more comfortable than certain aspects of real life.
Although that’s gotten better for me, but I think in my twenties, I’ve gotten more comfortable in my own skin, and in who I am as a real person. I think that’s part of the reason why I transitioned out of theatre—which is pretending to be somebody else—and into this art form, which is being myself, maybe in a heightened form. Maybe it’s more of a persona, but it’s based on who I really am. So, I think that reflects my personal growth.

Nashville thoughts and suport of the fans

I think Nashville has now become a huge music scene, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I ended up there for some project or another.
The support that I’ve seen out here has meant a lot to me, and it’s been surprising, because I didn’t realize that was the case. I kind of figured, ‘Oh, I’m maybe more supported in the metropolitan, liberal areas.
I didn’t think the South, and there was also so much support in Utah. There had been areas in my head that I thought were more conservative areas, and the support has been unbelievable. So far in the South, I’ve found the fans have been wilder than they were in California.
I mean… people are really enthusiastic and passionate down here. It’s kind of all hitting me all at once, that it’s universal, and that means a lot to me. That means I did something right, and I’m really happy about that.
