As an actor, I really like Philip Seymour Hoffman. I think he's a genius.

If you only ever heard Lady Gaga, she's the most boring singer in the world.

I love producing shows. And so when you're on a show where other people are making decisions you don't necessarily agree with it, after a while you start to feel like a passenger.

If you've got a big mouth and you're controversial, you're going to get attention.

One thing I've learnt is you should never fight it. They're natural emotions and when you try and bottle everything up, that's what can make you depressed. Luckily I have fantastic memories [about my parents] and they really help.

I have seen that the American Dream is a reality - and I would love to feel the British Dream is also a reality. To enable that, we have to bring back some common sense and encourage family values, a proper sense of justice and make people believe they have a decent chance to build a business or career for themselves. I see this moment as a fantastic opportunity to restore this, because I believe Britain Has Talent.

I actually don't understand a word Paula's saying anymore. It's like a new language.
