Blake Lewis

“My definition of an American Idol is someone who is a great talent and who communicates well with the audience”

“Just keep being true to yourself, if you're passionate about something go for it. Don't sacrifice anything, just have fun.”

“In Atlantic City about to get my crunk on. I don't know what that means.”

“Flowers for me are just things to give to a beatiful woman.”

“I don't like socks or shoes. I really don't like socks but I wear them in my house because I can slide on my floor.”

“No, no. I was on America's Top Model. It was good. Yeah, I was up there, I wore a dress. It was awesome.”

“Do you earn income as a model? Maybe I do.”

“I don't disrespect anybody, but if I get disrespected, I'm over with you.”

“Ellen Degeneres: “There’s a curfew for all the people on American Idol and you didn’t pay attention to it, ever.”Blake: “Yeah, why?”Ellen: “Why? That’s my question.”

“This is for all you kids out there watching TV, when you should go open a book. Haha.”

“No no no no yes yes yes no maybe”

“I’ve always been a fan of the melancholy, like Morrissey. I grew up playing classical nocturnes like Chopin and Debussy on piano, so I write really melancholy lyrics and melodies”

“To do what you love and are passionate about is a dream come true, My life is consumed by music and entertainment— and it’s the best life I could ever hope for.”

“When people would ask me what I’m addicted to, I always said ‘music.’ And while they’d laugh it off like it’s a cliché, I’m actually a complete shopaholic when it comes to records. I’d literally buy 10 albums a week for years, so when I went to that Virgin Records and it said ‘going out of business,’ my heart stopped.”

“I make my own pants because I don't wear jeans. They are like golf pants. I just like to put a little funk into everything.”

“You ever see a poptart do the moonwalk? Magic”

“want people to rock out in the car and not care that people are watching, I love that feeling when the sequences are all perfect and you can just press play. I want the music to take you on a journey.”

“This is me trying to bridge the gap and make a record that I’m truly proud of, I’ve got my 80s side and my indie side, my super pop slant and the electronic music that I love. I wanted to make happy, feel-good music. It all comes from an organic place”

“The judges say, make it your own, so I just remixed a song if I felt like the piece needed it”

“All cell phones in the air 'cause I want to see you guys shine.”

“If you never take risks in life, you'll never see anything new”

“I may be taking a risk on it, which is alright, because if you never take risks in life, you'll never see anything new.”

“Some say silence is golden, I choose noise!”

“(on not being able to keep still): I have to move. I always want to engage the audience, and hopefully they are going to send some energy back”

“We are headed for perfect disaster..”
