Here's proof that if you live long enough, anything is possible.

No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right.

You know, when I did 'American Idol' the three times, I tried to tell these kids you have to tell the story of the lyric.

Every few years, I go back into all the songs and I update them so that it never sounds like an oldies show. If you come to the shows, they're full of muscle. 'Copacabana' sounds like it could have been released yesterday.

Misfits aren't misfits among other misfits.

I believe that we are who we choose to be. Nobody is going to come and save you. You've got to save yourself. Nobody is going to give you anything. You've got to go out and fight for it.

These days, with 'American Idol' and all the other reality shows, young people become famous overnight, and that can be very difficult to handle, the way photographers follow you around and study your every move.
