To do what you've done makes you a real man - commenting on the farcical admittance by a contestant he was over the age limit
I laughed, even if I was the butt of the joke.
I think Robbie Williams is an utter and complete prat. His last record was a pile of rubbish.
I never even knew he was a socialist. Not in 15 years. I couldn't believe it when I found out.
The public are always right... but I think they've got it wrong tonight
Reality TV is here, it's been here really since the Carol Levis Discovery Show in 1957. It's never changed. It just looks a bit different.
I don't mind losing, but I don't like losing to cheats.
Everything I touch turns to gold.
Give the public what they want. What you want is unimportant.
If you're rude for television's sake, it ain't reality TV.
I think that's where reality TV works - you don't know where it's going.
I was very cheap - that's the way I'd always worked.
I thought if Oasis could get away with sounding like The Beatles, I could get away with sounding like Abba.
I'm not going to say that every record I've put out was the greatest record in history, but I'd stand by even the bad ones. Don't make excuses, make hits.
