I want to take Ryan Seacrest's job. I want his job on 'American Idol.'

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

An American Idol is someone that has all the qualities that America thinks is positive, attractive and alluring.

I look at a mentor of mine like Ryan Seacrest and the incredible amount of equity he's been able to bring to the broadcasting arena, and the branding and the world that he's been able to build around himself.

The people that go on 'American Idol' do want some recognition and fame.

If we had to choose one American Idol to go out to dinner with, it would be Fantasia. There are no airs and graces about her... I like her.

It was a pleasure to work with everybody at 'American Idol' and to be able to be part of the 'Idol' family.

Everybody out there watches the show and has expectations of wanting to be an 'Idol', but we're going to teach them how much hard work goes into it.

I only have one idol: John Lennon.
