Blake Lewis

"Some say silence is golden, I choose noise."

"I get scared because I regard women as the most beautiful creatures in the world."

"I'm kind of a ninja."

"Now I'm 'Blake Lewis' to the world, but I will always still be Bshorty from Bothell...I've never looked at it like a competition so I think I've won regardless. I won when I got to the top ten; I've already reached my goal."

"I've tried to stay true to myself this whole entire time, and I think I've represented myself as creatively as I could with what I got on the show."

"[Singing] Steve Jobs, send me a brand-new Mac..."

"The song's about coming together as one in an ideal world. And we might not be able to accomplish that, but tonight we can start by making it a better place."

"If you don't take risks in life, you'll never see anything new."
