Adam Lambert admits he’s finding it “difficult” dealing with his new-found fame.

The Americal Idol runner-up — who recently came out in Rolling Stone magazine — thinks it’s “crazy” having to deal with constant streams of publicity.

“It’s difficult. I’m not used to it,” he tells Parade magazine. “I’m still kind of working on finding that balance. I want to find it. I think because I’m so busy and really focused in on rehearsing for the tour and preparing for the album, that’s definitely my priority right now. That helps me get past the crazy publicity.”

Lambert says he feels “pressure” to be a voice in the gay community. “[I do feel the pressure] a little bit, just by default,” he said. “Honestly, I’m so wrapped up in the process of creating music that I don’t really have the energy to go there right now. Who knows what the future may hold, but I’m an entertainer and that’s what I want to put my energy into right now.”

His celebrity crushes? “I don’t know if there’s actually that many celebrities that play for my team that are open about it,” Adam said. “I have a ton of celebrity crushes but I’m not going to tell you! Maybe you should ask someone that question about me.”
