I grew up when the whole Motown thing was huge. The charts in those days were dominated by groups more than solo artists at one point.

I think the best singers in the world, historically, are American. Britain's got its fair share, as well, but some of the greatest singers, ever, whether you're talking about Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey or Aretha Franklin, are from the legacy here.

I never knew how much love and pride I would feel.

It's the government's job to encourage entrepreneurialism and investment. Most importantly, it's the government's duty to inspire confidence.

I do a couple of hundred press-ups a day but I haven't been to a gym in years.

Anyone who goes on 'The X Factor' to make big money will be in for a big shock.

So I would only feel guilt if I misled somebody who was terrible.
