 I met someone the other night who's 28 years old, and he hasn't worked a day since he left college because he's pursuing a dream he'll never, ever realize: He thinks he's a great singer. Actually, he's crap. |
| 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. |
| Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people. |
| The end of the animal trade would leave more time to trap or beat to death pop star wannabes. |

| My attitude is, if someone's going to criticize me, tell me to my face. |
| I think you have to judge everything based on your personal taste. And if that means being critical, so be it. I hate political correctness. I absolutely loathe it. |
