I Think That By Ignoring The Show

If We Had To Choose One American Idol To Go Out To Dinner With, It Would Be Fantasia. There Are No Airs And Graces About Her. ... I Like Her.

I Think The Best Singers In The World, Historically, Are American. Britain's Got Its Fair Share, As Well, But Some Of The Greatest Singers, Ever, Whether You're Talking About Whitney Houston Or Mariah Carey Or Aretha Franklin, Are From The Legacy Here.

My Proudest Achievement Has Been The Success Of The Shows And Artists I Have Been Involved With, Because They Were Made In Britain.

I Could Just Sit Back And Get Someone To Spin My Achievements, I Suppose, But When I See Others Do It, I Always Think, 'why Are You Telling Me How Successful You Are?' I Am Always Suspicious Of Those Kinds Of Boasts.

Everyone Who Turns Up On 'x Factor' Does It Because A Door Has Been Closed To Them At Some Time In Their Lives, And This Is The Only Shot They Have Got.
