I love being. There's so much wisdom in it. You wake up in the morning and you think, Hey, isn't it great just being?
The only person to look out for me is me. I've got to make sure Corey Clark is all right.
Older women have always been attracted to me.
American Idol' is a $900 million-a-year corporation. When you are dealing with that, you can't come off with lies - it's either the truth or nothing.

So in order for me to get through all the red tape and just allow people to just get at my talent, I've got to set the record straight.

In England, we have a curious institution called the Church of England. Its strength has always been in the fact that on any moral or political issue it can produce such a wide divergence of opinion that nobody -- from the Pope to Mao Tse-tung -- can say with any confidence that he is not an Anglican. Its weaknesses are that nobody pays much attention to it and very few people attend its functions.
