You don't hate the mosquito; you just want it out of your face.

Beyonce is good-looking. Jennifer Lopez is good-looking. Madonna used to be good-looking.

I've always been petrified of working for a boss who I didn't like but who I was in fear of, because I wanted my salary.

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.

If I said to most of the people who auditioned, 'Good job, awesome, well done,' it would have made me actually look and feel ridiculous. It's quite obvious most of the people who turned up for this audition were hopeless.
