Q - You've dealt with the media extremely well, since the beginning. You're had more people prying into your lifes probably more than any pre-Finale Idols ever.
A - Well, some of it gets to me sometimes, I get a little irritated. But it's flattering that people are interested, it's a good thing for my career and that's what being a pop artist is all about, it's about getting people interested and wanting to know everything.
Q - Do you think that being gay will hurt your career?
A - I don't know. I'm sure that there are some people that are turned off by it. And to be frank, those aren't the kind of people I want to sing to anyway. I want to sing to people who are open-minded and accept music. It's not about my lifestyle, that just happens to be my sexual preference, it doesn't mean that it's going to affect the type of music that I'm going to make or the type of performer that I am. I would hope that people are in a more progressive mindset right now, I know that our country as a whole is in a more progressive place than it was when the show started 8 years ago. I think that if you like it you like it, and if you don't, there's nothing you can do to control it.

ADAM'S ALBUM
A - My big thing is, I want it to be, lyrically, something that I can relate to. Something that makes a statement but doesn't, like, preach. It's a very fine line. I don't want to do songs about nothing because I'm bored with that, but I also don't want to take myself too seriously. It's a balancing act.
