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.
I think America is a hard nut to crack. But once you get a toehold, it's a great place for an entrepreneur because people are so enthusiastic, and you have the most enthusiastic audiences in world.
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 don't have sophisticated tastes. I have average tastes. If you looked in my collection of DVDs, you'd see 'Jaws' and 'Star Wars.' In the book library, you'd see John Grisham and Sidney Sheldon. And if you look in my fridge, it's, like, children's food - chips, milkshakes, yogurt.
I think if you're an unhappy person, you're always going to be an unhappy person. You're probably going to be less unhappy if your business is doing well, if I'm being honest.
I break up very well. I am a good breaker-upper.
Holding auditions in front of an audience is testing.
I get very anti-social, depressed and irritable with people. I don't have time for them. I can't make phone calls and stuff. I just sit on my own for days.
I've had Botox, but then again pretty much everyone I know has. To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste. It works. You do it once a year - who cares?
My dad said to me, 'Work hard and be patient.' It was the best advice he ever gave me. You have to put the hours in.
If you only ever heard Lady Gaga, she's the most boring singer in the world.
If I went to a psychiatrist, it would be a long session. I've always thought that I do have a number of issues that probably need dealing with, because I am quite odd in some ways.
What I would argue in my defence is that shows like 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'The X Factor' have actually got people more interested in music again and are sending more people into record stores.
Britain's got talent, enormous talent; that's very obvious.
I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics.
When you get your first pay cheque, it's the best feeling in the world.
Would I like kids? If I knew I could be - and how could I put this delicately - faithful, then yes. I do like kids.
Have I got a black book? Yes, it's called a mobile phone. I do get offers. There is no shortage of people if you want to go on dates - working in TV, living in L.A., it is there if you want it.
I probably get more satisfaction from making a show than being on a show.
I like spaghetti bolognese, I like baked beans on toast. I hate French food. I hate fancy food.
You don't go into anything contemplating failure, because if you did, you wouldn't make it.
My own saying is: 'Create the hype, but don't ever believe it.'
I'm going to give all my money away, eventually. I don't believe in all this hand-down stuff. Even if I had kids, I don't think I'd want to give them everything.
Choosing how you vote should not be a snap verdict based on a few minutes of television.
