My Advice Would Be If You Want

I've Never Liked The Idea You Have To Be A Certain Age To Be A Pop Star. I Like The Idea That Anybody Can Enter, Anybody Can Compete.

Every Single Negative Can Lead To A Positive. Any Negative Situation... Don't Get Too Down About It - You'll Work It Out. You Learn It As You Go Along. You Don't Get Smart At 17. You Just Don't Unless You're One Of A Billion. It Will Happen Over Time And It's The Getting There Which Will Be The Most Fun.

I Can't Stand Stage Mothers. It Doesn't Work. You Definitely Feel That With The New Generation Of Pop Stars Right Now They've All Managed To Work It Out For Themselves. You Have To Have Confidence In That. When You're Young, You Know Your Market Better Than I Will. I Love Having Young People On The Show Because I Can Learn From Them.

If I Go Into A Relationship With An Artist, Which At Most Is Going To Last Five Years, We Have A 100-page Contract Covering Every Eventuality. Whereas With Marriage You Go Into It With No Contract, With Laws That Date Back Hundreds Of Years, And I Don't Think That's Right.

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.
