“I LOVE ONE DIRECTION!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people.”
“My proudest achievement has been the success of the shows and artists I have been involved with, because they were made in Britain.”
“If you've got a big mouth and you're controversial, you're going to get attention.”
“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.”
“I think that by ignoring the show you're ignoring the audience who put you there.”
“I have seen that the American Dream is a reality - and I would love to feel the British Dream is also a reality. To enable that, we have to bring back some common sense and encourage family values, a proper sense of justice and make people believe they have a decent chance to build a business or career for themselves. I see this moment as a fantastic opportunity to restore this, because I believe Britain Has Talent.”
“I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics. So forgive me. But I am passionate about this country. I am equally passionate about the potential of the people who live here.”
“What other people think about me is none of my business .”
