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 always said to myself, this would be really hard if I were 20 or 30. That’s why I look at these young celebrities, and I just feel for them, because you have to be grown up enough to know yourself in this. And that just takes time.

In Hollywood if you don’t have a shrink, people think you’re crazy.

I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir.
