Clay has mentioned several times about not feeling as if he has 'earned' his success so far. Clay, you have earned every bit of your success. From forgoing your final semester in school, to sleeping on the street in Atlanta, to enduring Simon C's barbs, to a non stop summer tour schedule, followed only by a roller coaster ride of tv and radio appearances, from losing your privacy and having little free time, to not wanting to disappoint your fans and giving us your all while feeling sick or having an allergic reaction, to having to hear unfunny jokes and remarks about your talent, your looks and your sexuality, to living out of a suitcase and criss crossing the country on planes, to not being able to be with your friends and family as much as you'd like, to having to fight to be rid of the 'AI' stigma, to having to deal with 'overly enthusiastic' fans.You have earned every bit of your success. You deserve it, you've worked hard for it, and we promise to continue to work for you and your foundation, to respect you and to support you in any way we can and any way you need us to.
