It is dishonest the way that people suddenly think they've found guitars, and wear their guitar as a badge.

I'm not going to say that every record I've put out was the greatest record in history, but I'd stand by even the bad ones. Don't make excuses, make hits.

Everything I touch turns to gold.

Reality TV is here, it's been here really since the Carol Levis Discovery Show in 1957. It's never changed. It just looks a bit different.

Certainly in the modern age where everything is glossed over, when somebody speaks their mind, the majority of the public go, I'd love to have said that.

Reality TV finds talented people. There are no scripts. The editing is what it's all about. Great editing makes those shows.

Give the public what they want. What you want is unimportant.
