Did you think it was homophobic?
I'm not going to discuss it.
What do you want to talk about?
I think we're done.
Can we talk about something fun?
No, we're done. I thought NEWSWEEK would be more reputable. I'm surprised.
But I think people are curious about it.
It was a year ago. This is NEWSWEEK. It's not the National Enquirer. I'd hate to have a job where I had to be rude to people.
We're just having a conversation.
Change the subject! I'd never take a job where I had to do something that I didn't want to do.
What about all those Ford commercials on "American Idol"?
That wasn't a job.
It was part of your job.
It wasn't a Ford commercial. It was a music video. It was a completely different thing.
I'll change the subject. What do you do for fun?
I watch the news. I read news magazines, but I'm reconsidering that now.
Are you going to watch "Idol"?
I haven't watched since season four. I compare it to high-school football--if it weren't for high school, we wouldn't be successful, but I don't need to keep going to the football games.

Comment: Conceded, he may have *effeminate* traits... But, elementary logic easily tells us that:
Effeminacy does not equate to Homosexuality. To wit (operative words being *non-conformance* vs *attraction*),
Effeminacy -> non-conformance to traditional masculine traits and behaviors
Homosexuality -> a sexual attraction to (or sexual relations with) persons of the same sex
"One thing I've found of people in the public eye, either you're a womanizer or you've got to be gay. Since I'm neither one of those, people are completely concerned about me." -Clay Aiken
"It's about being accountable to myself and making sure that I maintain principles and values and don't compromise myself inorder to be what society wants to be a popstar, what people think a popstar is..." -Clay Aiken
Folks, FYI, he has high set of principles and convictions... He was raised in a spiritual way (remember him being a Southern Baptist - a congregation having strict moral standards).
Guess what: he is not a womanizer, does not drink neither smoke and other *stereotype pop image* what-have-you. BUT him following good moral standards make him gay? Come on!
