My proudest achievement has been the success of the shows and artists I have been involved with, because they were made in Britain.

My attitude is, if someone's going to criticize me, tell me to my face.

It's not our intention to be mean. That's just within us.

I've spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on the very best security and I can assure you my homes are as safe as the Bank of England.

The minute you start assuming that the audience is very happy to see the same show again, you're dead.

Holding auditions in front of an audience is testing.

I have very good advice to give to kids this age, which is, you shouldn't listen to your mum or dad and you just have to work it out for yourself. And the reason I've taken the age range down this year, and I never would have done it 10 years ago, is what I've seen with the success of Willow Smith. You don't have to be so cutesy anymore.
