Adam Lambert has praised his parents for increasing his self-confidence.
The American Idol runner-up told the Philippine Daily Inquirer that his father helped him come to terms with being a "strange kid".
"I do have great parents," he said. "My father is teacher-oriented. He was very much guiding me through. I always felt weird and kind of out of place.
"I remember my father from my early age going, 'It's okay. When you're older, everybody is going to want to be your friend, trust me. The weird ones are the ones that everybody wants to be like when they're older'."
Lambert continued: "I really enjoyed hearing that as a kid. He gave me a little tip. He was like, 'Hold on, just hold on. It will all work out. It will all fall into place. People will understand you later'.
"So that gave me a lot of confidence, being like a strange kid. And my mum is just as supportive."
