Famous quotes by Ruben Studdard:

"I am a product of the public school system ... and I had a lot of friends involved in gang activity."

"We've been a family for 10 months, ... It's going to be difficult for us to split apart. But we're all grown people and we have our own responsibilities to take care of."

"Flying Without Wings."

"Everybody in this competition is a winner, ... I don't think there's too much difference."

"I just never let anything bother me, man. I know myself really well. Nobody's opinion of me can shake my opinion of myself."

"I feel as if I've been able to do so many things I never expected to do."

"I went to public school, and it shaped me as a musician."

"In life we all go through different situations that cause you to reflect. I had the opportunity to be married to a wonderful person. And for some reason two good people couldn't make a good thing work. But in life, the one thing that I love about being an artist is that you can sometimes use the pain that you go through to make beautiful things."

"I'm in the process of brainstorming with my marketing team and all that stuff, trying to come up with a concept for a late-night restaurant for people in Birmingham."

"My mother always taught me, even my dad, just never let other people's opinions of you shape your opinion of yourself. And I never have and I never will."

"I'm not in the best shape, but I want to prove to myself I can do something that seems insurmountable and inspire others by showing them no matter where they are in their fitness goals, they can do it, too."

"I've toured the world with David Foster and all kinds of different people. It's been a great ride, and I don't think it's about to stop any time soon."

"So I've never in my whole life really been teased about my weight."

"I don't have any concerns about my weight. I've always been healthy. I eat right. I'm just a big dude. I've always been happy with the person I am. So that will never change."

"We became somewhat household names really quickly, within a matter of - what? - three, four months. So it's hard to get used to, and it's really sometimes hard to understand."

"I don't like to be a preacher or anything, but the one thing that I've learned is that you truly are what you eat."

"When one person does something that works, everyone else wants to do it. So it didn't surprise me at all to see people come with different versions of 'American Idol' and a lot of them are exactly the same but with different twists."

"Because I gave myself - I left school after the second semester of my junior year to pursue a career in music. and I gave myself five years to make it and I made it in three."

"You know, I played football, I was offensive tackle in college."

"I grew up in the '80s, and there was no bigger group than New Edition in R&B.; I broke my piggy bank so me and my mom could go to a New Edition concert together."
