Zitat des Tages von Ruben Studdard:
Dairy products are not good for a singer.
I think I look good. I think I look real good.
People just take your kindness for weakness sometimes, and that's just the bottom line.
I want to make sure I continue to make good music that my mom and everybody around me can be proud of.
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.
Simon is cool. You know, it's different if you ever see him around his mom. He acts totally different.
You know, I played football, I was offensive tackle in college.
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.
I've never had any health problems and I'm Ruben, man, all the way through.
You know, Simon he's an artist representative, but Randy and Paula actually were in the industry as artists so they had, you know, the information that they offered to us from their aspect.
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 want to be a one-hit wonder.
All of them had so much to offer us as far as, you know, knowledge in the music industry, and especially Randy and Paula because, you know, they've been artists.
And I just pray that god gives me longevity in the music industry.
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.
So I've never in my whole life really been teased about my weight.
I like doing theaters. I like being up close and personal with the fans. It's really cool.
I feel like I have been totally blessed with everything that I have done.
I am comfortable with anything I sing: jazz, gospel, classical. It doesn't matter. I can do it all.
I want to be around for a long time. I don't want to be a one-hit wonder.
I went to public school, and it shaped me as a musician.
I'm always happy for people when I see God blessing them the way he's blessed me.
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.
The only thing about my life that's really changed is the fact that a lot of people know me now. I'm still the same person.
If you eat good, you feel good. I would encourage every body else to do the same.
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.
I never want to try to be a spokesperson for health and wellness because I most definitely am not the most in shape person in the world.
