I think if you're an unhappy person, you're always going to be an unhappy person. You're probably going to be less unhappy if your business is doing well, if I'm being honest.

I've always treated the music business as a business.

We felt the time was right to open up the boundaries, and say to all of America, regardless of your age, whether you're 2, whether you're 100, regardless of what you believe your talent is - juggling, magic, singing - this is the show you can enter. It's as simple as that.

Anything I shouldn't laugh at makes me laugh. I mean, I'm bad at that, when somebody is singing something terribly and I'm thinking to myself, 'If I laugh now, this is the absolute worst thing I could ever do,' and then I start laughing and I can't stop.

What luxury would I take to a desert island? A mirror. It's true. I'd miss me.

Praise a stranger with a few nice words and he becomes a stranger that calls you a friend.

No, what I am doing is kind by telling people who are useless, "Do something that you're good at".
