I'm not that musical. I don't really know how a record is produced, and, funnily enough, I don't want to.

If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.

I'm obsessed with cleanliness for myself, so I will take a bath three times a day, sometimes a steam twice a day in addition to that.

I've spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on the very best security and I can assure you my homes are as safe as the Bank of England.

Britain's got talent, enormous talent; that's very obvious.

I was never given any hand-outs. I started at the bottom and was very good at finding people who knew more than me and learning from them.

I turned down many chances to be on TV before 'Pop Idol' because I really wasn't interested in being famous. I didn't need it and didn't want it.

I've always treated the music business as a business.

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

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.
