I don't have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.

I don't have an idol per se.

I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence.

Idolatry is really not good for anyone. Not even the idols.

I never had posters on my walls, and I didn't have any icons, either. I come from a small village in Wirral, and my family didn't watch TV. I wasn't exposed to people with icon status. David Bowie popped up, but I had already shaved my eyebrows off by the time I saw his.

My idols are singers like Billie Holiday and Erykah Badu because there's no gloss on what they do.

I've had many idols growing up. The inclination for idol worship comes naturally to me.

I only have one idol: John Lennon.

I grew up always wanting to be a part of 'Idol,' and I never thought I would make it as far as I did. I was really lucky, and it's given me the opportunities that I have now.
