Most things in music go full circle eventually.

Sincerity is romantic. I don't think you need gestures.

I was slightly cynical of the American mentality before I came over here, but now I preach it. Here, no one's going to tear you down if you buy yourself a $300,000 car. They're likely to say: "Well, you probably worked hard for it. Good luck to you."

You didn't beat the compotition you crushed the compotition!

Britain's got talent, enormous talent, that's very obvious.

I thought the first two seasons of America's Got Talent were good. I think this one is the best one by a mile because they - you see the difference this year, I think, with the crowd being effectively the fourth judge. But most importantly, I think that these shows have to have a relevance because if you're not finding stars at the back of these shows - whether it's Idol or Got Talent - they're a complete waste of time.

At 20, you're cocky and you think you can rule the world, and you get it all wrong.
