I'm a great believer in getting checked out because if you know you're OK, you actually feel better; your mind plays a big part of it.

They understand what their market is and who they should be selling records to, and most importantly, they know the kind of artist that they want to be, but they have to do it themselves. You don't want a 13-year-old singing some awful song from a musical.

I work out three or four times a week, I have Botox, take tons of vitamins and vitamin infusions - if you believe that these things work, you will feel better.

The object of this competition is not to be mean to the losers but to find a winner. The process makes you mean because you get frustrated.

You don't go into anything contemplating failure, because if you did, you wouldn't make it.

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

In TV, film, and music there's a lot of snobbery, and I don't like it. I've never been a cultural snob.
