If he wins seven golds and ties what I did, then it would be like I was the first man on the moon and he became the second. If he wins more than seven, then he becomes the first man on Mars. We'd both be unique.

Winning isn't everything, but it beats anything in second place.

Winning, to me, is easy. Winning more is the challenge.

I watched the moon landing as a boy, and I thought that was the most exciting thing ever, going into space, orbiting Earth and exploring other planets. That looked fantastic.

I'd rather win than be a showman.

Being nominated is the win. For me, being nominated is winning. It's just unbelievable.

The moon puts on an elegant show, different every time in shape, colour and nuance.

My greatest competition is, well, me.

Winning 'American Idol' is awesome.
