My own saying is: 'Create the hype, but don't ever believe it.'

I break up very well. I am a good breaker-upper.

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.

There's an expression in life: "You can only make one first impression." And that first impression has to be spectacular. So, I wait, and let people see it when it's ready to go. It's not a set rule, but I think it's the better way of working. People will agree with you because of your track record, but you want people to like it because it's good, not because you found it.

I should get a dog. I would get a rescue dog. I like mutts; I don't care. I would probably get a three-legged dog no one else would want.

People confuse ego, lust, insecurity with true love.

There's one argument that says we shouldn't be putting these kids on under the age of 16. I think you've got to take it case by case.
