I can't touch Simon anymore.

You're one of the most natural, great singers I've heard in a long time.

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. I love your voice man, you give me chills... Brilliant.

I can't touch Simon anymore.

Accept who you are and try and make the best of that.

Every label thinks, when they sign someone, 'This is the perfect pedigree to sign. They're cute, they can sing, they can dance, et cetera.' And they say to the public, 'Here, this is what you're gonna like.' But you might say, 'No, I don't like that!' You'll probably say 'no' many more times than you'll say 'yes!'

Figure out who you are.

I always wanted to be a leading man!

I chalk up the fact that I got diabetes to my body saying, 'Dude, you have been doing wrong for way too long!'

I don't want to be held down by genres so much.

I love people who break boundaries and always create something new and fresh.

I think any show after the Super Bowl will have huge numbers.

I used to think I was a singer; I had my own delusions about it.

I was having serious issues with becoming a diabetic.

I'm a much healthier eater and I've lost quite a bit of weight over the years.

I'm actually a pretty good tennis player!

I've sung background for a couple of bands.

If you can turn your wants into your needs, you can do anything.

My ego is really good. I don't need to watch myself on TV, like some others.

The pop-star thing bores me because it's somebody programming someone else. Stand over here, sing that, no, sing it like this, talk like that, when they ask you this, don't say that, say this, hold that, drive this, stay here, live there - you're not even a human being. You're a puppet.

The public always picks quality.

There is a lot of territory out there still to explore TV-wise, show-wise, movie-wise, everything.

Well, basically I have a lot of friends because I've been in the business a long time and worked with a lot of people.

When you're used to being in the public eye, if you've got a disease, you've got to own up to it. It's about being about it, not running from it.

You can only be free as an artist if you're free as a person.

You never know what the future brings.

You chose the toughest song to sing tonight . . . and you worked it out.

I want to do more sci-fi films. I want to play half-alien, half-illegal alien.

There's a point at which writing a book, or a long article, begins to feel like mental labor, and it's too painful to connect in the world in any real way mid-process. The only way to survive is to write until it is all said and done.

Success is not certain until you are obsessed by your goal.

Once you climb to another level, you have to figure out how to sustain it.

People who don't have gender dysphoria aren't going to catch it by watching me dance on television.

I don't want to make a film to make a film.

To be an artist, you need to exist in a world of silence.

I'm a traditionalist. I have certain values I live by.

On paper I would be a rather bold individual in our culture.

You will find a job, if you are willing to work.

It's been a huge part of my life in the past few years, and I just couldn't turn my back on all that - the bakers themselves, the bakes, the team that makes it, and of course the tent, the bunting, and who could forget... the squirrels. So I am delighted that I will be continuing as a judge when 'Bake Off' moves to Channel 4.

There just is not one person in my family who is not funny.

God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.

Feelings or emotions are the universal language and are to be honored. They are the authentic expression of who you are at your deepest place.

Communication is so much better when people are vulnerable.

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

Heart disease continues to be the number one killer; cancer, the number 2 killer, not far behind. The tragic aspect of these deadly diseases is that they could all be cured, I do believe, if we had sufficient funding.

Know that there is so much more to you than your body. It's not just about perfecting the steps; you must trust your instincts to tell deep, emotional stories through the steps that you are performing.

You know, I was a kid who had difficulty speaking English when I first immigrated. But in my head, when I read a book, I spoke English perfectly. No one could correct my Spanish. And I think that I retreated to books as a way, you know, to be, like, masterful in a language that was really difficult for me for many years.
