I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics.

I didn't have any qualifications when I left school - I had three O-levels.

If we had to choose one American Idol to go out to dinner with, it would be Fantasia. There are no airs and graces about her. ... I like her.

Maybe I am a bit mad.

I like spaghetti bolognese, I like baked beans on toast. I hate French food. I hate fancy food.

Everyone who turns up on 'X Factor' does it because a door has been closed to them at some time in their lives, and this is the only shot they have got.

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