When you're making a reality show, you can't even plan a week ahead now.
We're proud, we're happy, and it's nice that she remembers the show as well.
I would be careful. You've got to be entertaining.
Let me tell you who's gonna be in the finals. The bald-headed kid (Daughtry) and the guy with gray hair (Hicks).
Look, she doesn't need to thank me and she doesn't need to thank American Idol. She does need to thank the fans who voted for her on American Idol. That's all.
One or two haven't got a cats-in-hell chance, like the kid with the glasses.
No one really has any job security anymore, including myself.
If I had one dog, I'd want a hundred. If I had one kid, I'd probably want a hundred. I mean, it's just the way I am.
I can't admit things; that's why I can't go to funerals and stuff like that. I find it very, very difficult to deal with that kind of reality. I shut myself off totally because it affects me so badly.
I don't think I can do this anymore.
It's not my habit to kiss and tell. I've never done it.
Sometimes when you have a record out, you think you're going to go in at No. 1 but you go in at No. 8. So your second record has to be better. That's how I treat it.
I'm not sure who has the right to say that you have better taste than somebody else, because essentially what you're doing is calling millions of people morons.
If I was gay, why wouldn't I admit it? It wouldn't harm me.
